Overview
Our M&A team has broad transaction experience, and delivers first class advice throughout the whole process from strategy to implementation.
We tailor our team to the specific transaction. The core team typically consists of lawyers with solid transaction experience and competence within company and tax law, and is supported by specialists within competition law, employment law, regulatory, compliance and other areas as well as industry specialists as required. Our lawyers combine in-depth legal competence with a commercial outlook for the clients, and deliver at high international standards.
As one of Norway's leading M&A law firms, we have extensive experience from national and international acquisitions, auction processes, mergers and asset purchases with listed and unlisted companies in all industries. Our international presence and close ties with international law firms enable us to offer custom advisory in international or cross-border transactions.
We are probably the Band 1 firm with the most mandates for major PE players and we are selected legal advisor for major industrial players. In 2021, we i.a. represented SoftBank in its acquisition of 40% of the shares in Autostore, Norsk Hydro with the sale of its rolled products business and KKR in its voluntary cash offer for Ocean Yield.
