Laura Nurmela

I am a business law generalist. I assist our clients in mergers and acquisitions as well as in insolvency, contract and company law matters.

Before joining Norra I have worked in some of the largest law firms in Finland, where I have participated in the management of numerous extensive and demanding bankruptcies and corporate restructurings. In addition to M&A assignments, I have been engaged in managing bankruptcies and corporate restructurings and advising companies facing financial distress situations. I have assisted both domestic and foreign creditors and financiers in insolvency related assignments. I have represented clients in courts, particularly in insolvency-related disputes.

I have long-term experience in carrying out share and business transactions, due diligence inspections and related negotiations. Acting as the corporate legal advisor throughout the life cycle of a company, I have gained valuable insight into the various legal challenges as well as the legal services clients need. My experience also includes acting as a member of the board of directors.
