M&A and Corporate Law

Value-creating advice in connection with mergers and acquisitions requires a good understanding of the interplay between the commercial drivers in a transaction, the legal regulation, and the success factors defined for the transaction in consultation with the client. Our interdisciplinary teams at Wiersholm are custom-built to tackle complex problems and challenges, with a constant aim to deliver swift, efficient, and solution-oriented advice of the highest quality, perceived as both value-adding and innovative.

Our M&A department boasts some of the industry's most extensive and diverse experience with high-profile and complex transactions in both the Norwegian and Nordic markets. A significant portion of these transactions involve international players. We consistently assist a large number of Nordic and global private equity entities, industrial companies, listed companies, private investors, family-owned businesses, and state-owned companies/institutions, providing legal advice related to structuring, acquisitions, and mergers.

Our extensive experience with a variety of transactions has positioned our teams as leading specialists within the M&A sector in the Norwegian market. Our teams also stand out for having several M&A lawyers licensed in key jurisdictions outside of Norway.

Wiersholm maintains a well-established, yet independent, collaboration with numerous major international law firms. This allows us to select, in consultation with the client, the lawyer or law firm best suited to address the client's specific challenges, ensuring we can swiftly and efficiently meet the need for top-tier legal advice across all global jurisdictions.

Corporate law is also fundamental to our advisory services, with experts at all seniority levels within our corporate law group closely integrated with the M&A group. Here too, our advice is characterized by dedicated and interdisciplinary teams capable of resolving corporate law challenges related to all types of Norwegian company structures.
