Established in 1993, Krogerus is one of the most influential Finnish law firms and is presently led by managing partner Mårten Knuts. The firm is headquartered in Helsinki and has offices in Kuopio and Turku.
Highlights
A highlight of the firm’s M&A works during the research period includes its role advising Silo AI’s sellers on the Sale of AI, Europe’s largest private AI lab to AMD Inc. The transaction is valued at $665 million and is considered a landmark deal being the largest AI deal in Europe since 2014.
The firm has a particularly strong focus on large scale project financing in the energy sector. For instance, the firm advised Ilmatar energy Oy on securing project financing for the Pahkakoski wind farm to form a syndicate of banks. An innovative element of the project is it being one of the first large scale projects to use the new TCI (Transport, Crane and Installation) contracting model for efficient project progress.
