Inge works with mergers and acquisitions, energy law, tax law and company law. His advisory services focus on the energy sector (hydroelectric power, wind power and small-scale power) and renewable energy in particular. In addition, he also assists in purchase and sale of energy companies, in negotiation and preparation of contracts, and in regulatory matters and restructuring processes.
Inge has in-depth knowledge of and experience with the energy sector and has played an important role in most of the major energy transactions in Norway in recent years.
Chambers and Partners, Legal 500 and the Norwegian Financial Daily have ranked Inge as one of Norway's most prominent experts on energy law and renewable energy law.
Inge Ekker Bartnes utilises his extensive experience and expertise to provide real “value-added” insight at key points of the transaction, the type of support you want (and need) from a top-quality partner in this sector. Exceptional at “cutting through the noise” on transactions and facilitates key decision-making. Again, he is a pleasure to work with.
