This year Horten took the opportunity to showcase its strength on cross-border financing and investment mandates across Europe. On one deal, they advised Global Wind Power's SPV borrowers with regard to a wind farm project in Germany and, in another, they were instructed by Carnegie Asset Management on the restructuring of its Luxembourg concerns as part of the company's takeover by major Swedish private equity investors Altor and Bute.
Partner, leading lawyer and practice co-head Claus Bennetsen was involved on a substantial number of the firm's standout deals, including displaying their aircraft financing expertise for Banque Havilland Luxembourg in regard to the refinancing of a Swiss registered helicopter owned by a Danish borrower.
They did however lose leading lawyer Mikkel Fritsch, who is now a partner at Hannes Snellman.

Horten is viewed as having a very strong M&A practice in utilities and renewable energy, and the team, led by leading lawyer Hans Christian Pape, is gaining a larger reputation year on year.
The firm's standout transaction last year was a landmark deal involving the municipality of Gladsaxe, which is near Copenhagen on the island of Zealand. Partner and leading lawyer Lise Lotte Hjerrild advised Gladsaxe and Nordvand in the merging of the municipality's water and waste business with that of the Gentofte municipality, the end result being the formation of the Nordvand Group. Completed in May 2010, the €348 million deal was the first consolidation of its kind, establishing a precedent for the rest of the sector.

"Horten have a number of good, experienced partners, and Piya Mukherjee is very capable," says one peer of the firm's R&I team.
Mukherjee is the head of the practice and has advised on mainly confidential matters this year, while Claus Bennetsen, who is also active in the traditional finance side of banking matters, also works on restructuring matters. He, alongside Lars Grøngaard of Gorrissen, was made co-trustee of A/S/Rømø Golf & Wellness on behalf of its lead creditor, Pillar Securitisation of Luxembourg. The team was then mandated to assist with the sale of this concern (ongoing at the time of writing) to another company, Dayz, for €55 million.
