Top Tier Financial & Corporate Rankings by IFLR1000 for Castrén & Snellman Again This Year

Out of the three service categories researched, two of our services, Banking & Finance and Capital Markets were again ranked by IFLR1000 as Tier 1 services, the highest possible ranking, while our M&A service maintained its ranking in Tier 2 in the IFLR1000 2017 Financial and Corporate Guide.

In order to receive top level rankings, firms must demonstrate that they excel in terms of their transactional work, positive client feedback and in the feedback provided by competitor firms. IFLR1000 takes a fresh look at each firm and its achievements each year, and ranks leading law firms and individual lawyers in different regions, markets and practice areas. The final rankings serve as a guide to clients seeking the best firm, and the best lawyers, providing service in the ranked categories in Finland.

‘They are knowledgeable on best practices, provide a helpful service also in internal training, which was much appreciated, and maintain a fantastic attention to detail.’ –A client describing our firm to IFLR1000.

Exceptional individuals are also recognised by IFLR1000 and each of our three service categories researched is home to multiple leading experts, with eight of our partners and one of our counsel selected as leading individuals. Our M&A team is home to three of these leading individuals this year with the Head of our M&A Practice, Partner Jan Örndahl, newly receiving recognition as a Leading Lawyer. Our Banking & Finance team also added yet another individual recognition this year, with Partner Pekka Lehtinen’s recognition as a Leading Lawyer.

In addition to these new recognitions, six of our partners have been named again this year as Leading Lawyers including Merja Kivelä, Jan Kuhlefelt, Janne Lauha, Sakari Lukinmaa, Kimmo Rekola and Tero Tuomisto. In addition, our counsel Jonne Järvi was again selected as a Rising Star.
