Enforcement of Pledges

Enforcement of Pledges

We have decades of practical experience of planning and implementing, as well as creating market practices concerning, the enforcement of pledges.

Pledge enforcement is often a viable option when a debtor has become insolvent. Depending on the situation, pledge enforcement can be employed as an independent procedure or in combination with execution or bankruptcy proceedings.

Close cooperation between our front-line Finnish finance and insolvency experts ensures that we will identify the legal and commercial challenges in any given pledge enforcement process and find the measures and means of carrying out the enforcement that best suit our clients’ goals. As our client you will have our extensive resources at your disposal and benefit from our efficient project management skills and processes.

Our clients are creditors on different capital levels, including domestic and international financial institutions and investors as well as debtor companies. 

The Legal 500, IFLR1000, Chambers Europe and Chambers Global rank our services among the best in Finland.
