Anne Dahl Frisak > BAHR > Oslo, Norway > Lawyer Profile

BAHR fields an excellent corporate and M&A practice, which is ‘very solution oriented‘ and has particular expertise in private equity transactions as well as sector-specific knowledge in the oil and energy, real estate and infrastructure industries. Practice head Øystein Guvåg specialises in M&A transactions and private equity matters, while Lars Kristian Sande is the deputy head of the practice and an expert in advising both private equity and industrial investors on telecoms and technology transactions. Svein Gerhard Simonnæs, Robin Bakken and Lars Knem Christie are all key contacts for public M&A. The group also includes the private equity expert Børre Sofus Arnet, Jon Christian Thaulow, who is particularly experienced in the energy related industries, and Erik Langseth, who focuses on M&A and real estate transactions. Anne Dahl Frisak, who particularly focuses on M&A within the shipping, aquaculture and offshore sectors, is also a key practitioner.

BAHR’s leading and full-service maritime practice runs the gamut of ship finance issues, dry shipping matters, marine insurance work, and contentious mandates. Acting for leading domestic and international shipping companies as well as broker firms and insurers, the team has notable strength in cross-border matters. Henrik Aadnesen and Rebecca Lund Nakkim now co-lead the group after joining from Advokatfirmaet Schjødt in June 2023. Aadnesen takes point on shipping finance matters and transactional mandates, while Nakkim handles shipbuilding work, the sale and purchase of rigs and vessels, and charter contracts. Geir Gustavsson and Anne Dahl Frisak remain with the practice; the ‘high-calibre‘ Gustavsson has a broad practice spanning shipbuilding, project finance, and contentious mandates, while Frisak is the key contact for sale and leaseback projects and shipbuilding contracts.
