About

Deutsche Pfandbriefbank is a leading specialist bank for investments in commercial real estate and public infrastructure projects in Europe and the US. Richard Bergflo is the director and senior legal counsel for the Nordic region and is primarily responsible for supporting the bank’s commercial real estate finance team in the Nordics with all aspects of legal advisory services and transaction management. He reports directly to one of the two heads of transactional legal activity and is well supported by the wider legal team within the bank on Nordics matters. The bank’s significant transactions in recent years involve supporting Sagax and Heimstaden with financings throughout the Nordics. According to Bergflo, apart from legal and regulatory changes, ‘positioning the legal department to meet the demands of the bank’s growth strategy including its new physical presence in the US’ is one of the most important changes in the last two years.
