Krogerus advised Caruna Oy on its acquisition of Lapin Sähköverkko Oy from Kemijoki Oy. Concurrently, Caruna also acquired the high-voltage electricity distribution network assets from Kemijoki previously operated by Lapin Sähköverkko and Kemijoki itself.

Lapin Sähköverkko is Kemijoki’s wholly owned subsidiary. The company specialises in high-voltage electricity distribution.

The Krogerus team, led by partner Ville Hailikari, included partner Marko Vuori, counsel Marjukka Sippola, senior associate Heta Rönkkö and associate Jarno Käkelä.
