Børge A. Grøttjord

Børge Grøttjord is a trusted advisor to financial institutions, corporate borrowers, sponsors, and governmental entities across a wide spectrum of debt financings, restructurings, and special situations. With over two decades of experience, he brings a commercial, solution-driven approach to structuring and negotiating bespoke financing transactions.

His practice spans the full range of debt products, including syndicated and bilateral loans, project and infrastructure finance, real estate and asset-based lending, acquisition and leveraged finance, and high-yield bond issuances. He regularly advises clients on cross-border transactions involving Norwegian and international law considerations, often at the intersection of finance and insolvency.

Børge’s clients include global investment banks, private credit funds, hedge funds, private equity sponsors, and state-owned entities. He is particularly well-regarded for his ability to lead large, time-sensitive transactions and for his deep insight into distressed lending and the restructuring of non-performing debt portfolios.

He is recognised in leading legal directories such as Chambers and Partners, Legal 500, and IFLR1000, and frequently speaks on market developments in loan regulation, sovereign lending frameworks, and distressed asset strategies. Clients value his "pragmatic, commercially minded advice" and describe him as "responsive, strategic, and a true business partner in high-stakes matters."

In addition to his legal practice, Børge is committed to advancing financial inclusion. He provides pro bono counsel on global microfinance initiatives, particularly in Asia and North Africa, and is a strong advocate for innovative financing as a tool for poverty alleviation.
