Tier 1 Spots in All Categories Awarded to Borenius in the 31st Edition of the IFLR1000

We are excited to announce that our services have once again received Tier 1 rankings in all categories in the 31 edition of the IFLR1000. The publication covers the practice areas of Banking and Finance, Capital Markets, M&A, and Project Development.

The publication gave special recognition to our Capital Markets team for being involved in the two largest IPOs on Nasdaq Helsinki in 2020, namely the IPO of Musti Group and IPO of Nanoform Finland. The publication also gave us recognition in the field of debt capital markets where we worked on the first Finnish corporate bond to hit the market after the COVID-19 outbreak as well as the largest high-yield bond issuance since the pandemic.

The IFLR1000 guide ranks law firms and lawyers based on financial and corporate transactional work, and we are particularly grateful for the excellent feedback we received from our clients this year:

“Solution-oriented and responsive, with great insight into current market practice. Strong international network to provide best advice in each jurisdiction.” – Capital Markets
“They can control the complicated process quite well, provide legal advice and also alternatives.” – M&A
“Effective diverse teams, open-minded, approachable, professional.” – Restructuring and Insolvency
“They are responsive, pragmatic and provide high-quality products.” – Banking and Finance
“Borenius was well aware of aspects related to our concern. They provided in-depth knowledge but at the same time they were ready to listen us.” – Project Development
