Brækhus’ team for Finance and Insolvency assists with all relevant matters within financing, restructuring, and the enforcement of monetary claims. We provide advice and assistance in relation to contract negotiations and disputes, with a specific focus on return of investment for our clients.

For companies experiencing financial challenges we assist with restructuring. Our lawyers are specialists in assessing opportunities available and strategies to save your organization and we work together with other lawyers with expertise in other fields.
