‘The team's dedication in an incredibly tough situation is admirable. They provide a steady but strong hand in the midst of chaos.'
‘My key contacts are partners Andreas Zettergren, Susanne Fagerman, and Christoffer Monell. All are very impressive lawyers combining industry experience in the energy sector with the application of Swedish insolvency laws including the new restructuring law and its initial uses and developments.’
‘Andreas Zettergren is an excellent operator. He is always calm in any situation and provides steady, balanced and very technical advice. It can sometimes be difficult to get lawyers to actually land on a view and give actual advice but Andreas will always give a clear view, simply articulated and one which he is very capable of defending.'
