Carola Lindholm

I am a partner in Castrén & Snellman’s M&A team and the chair of our board. I have worked within M&A for almost 20 years and been involved in some 300 transactions, most with a cross-border element.

I am often consulted for strategic M&A advice, and take a particular interest in the possibilities and risks climate change and constantly changing regulation bring for future businesses and investors. I regularly work on deals for both domestic and international clients in a variety of industries—the financial, insurance and health care industries, to name a few—and have also been involved in several major energy, renewables and infrastructure transactions on the Nordic market.

I strive to be a solution-orientated negotiator who brings value to the table when the deal hinges on building a relationship and trust between the parties. I have advised clients on the establishment of some unique joint ventures on both the Nordic and Russian markets.

Why M&A? I simply have always genuinely enjoyed helping our clients build their success stories. With a trimmed project management and a firm hands-on and pragmatic approach, I like to deliver on time and on budget.
