CapMan Growth

Dottir advised a consortium led by CapMan Growth in their investment in Tana Oy, a Finnish environmental technology company. CapMan made the investment together with Normet Group’s main owner Aaro Cantell and Elo Mutual Pension Insurance Company.

Tana specializes in manufacturing machines and equipment for the mechanical processing of solid waste. The company is a pioneer of using electrical control systems and artificial intelligence solutions in its equipment and has grown in recent years to a global market leader in waste pre-treatment equipment. With this investment, Tana aims for even greater growth.

Vincit

We have had the pleasure of being involved in the possible merger of Vincit and Bilot.

This is the feedback we got from our client Vincit:

"Dottir advised Vincit on a potential merger and was an integral part during the whole negotiation and agreement forming process. We were most happy with their expertise, flexibility and overall good vibe with everyone involved. High Recommendation." - Chief Operations & Legal Officer, Vincit

Inderes

Dottir advised Inderes in their initial public offering on First North marketplace. Inderes, which is a Nordic investor hub providing analysis services, is a very prominent company in the Finnish investor and listed company scene. For this reason the IPO was important and gained a lot of public attention. The IPO led to Inderes gaining 10,000 new shareholders.

Witted Megacorp

13 May 2022 was a remarkable day for next-generation software development company Witted Megacorp Plc, as the company was listed on Nasdaq First North Growth Market.

Dottir was Witted’s legal advisor during the IPO process. Here are some thoughts of their CFO Teemu Tiilikainen on working with Dottir:

"Even though words like legal due diligence can be a bit scary at first, Dottir was there through the ups and downs, holding our hand and advising us on our questions. For me it seems their flexibility, agility and can-do attitude are a breath of fresh air in their business."

Timma

Timma, a Finnish salon management software provider, has been acquired by Danish Nordic vertical software vendor EG. Dottir advised the shareholders of Timma throughout the sale process.

"Very excited to begin the next phase of our journey as part of the EG family. Dottir has been our trusted legal partner for years already, and we were more than happy with them in this process as well," said Lari Mykrä, CEO of Timma.

Timma is a technology company that provides online booking and business management solutions for beauty and wellness companies. EG is a market leader in Nordic vertical software. By joining forces with EG, Timma can offer even stronger support to current and future customers. With the acquisition, EG is now one of the largest SaaS vendors in the beauty and wellness industry across Finland, Denmark, and Norway.
