Beret Sundet > BAHR > Oslo, Norway > Lawyer Profile

The ‘first-class‘ EU and competition offering at BAHR spans the full range of investigations, damages claims, state aid, and merger control mandates. The latter forms a core pillar of work for the team, which is regularly instructed to advise on cross-border filings, merger inquiries, and notification work. Helge Stemshaug oversees the practice and has a strong track record in handling cartel investigations and merger clearances, while the ‘exceptionally good‘ Beret Sundet has notable strength in M&A-related competition work in the pharmaceuticals and biotech sectors. Elin Moen re-joined the team from an in-house position in August 2023, strengthening the group’s general antitrust offering. The team is supported by a strong pool of associates, including the ‘outstanding‘ Ylva Kolsrud Lønvik, recommended for multijurisdictional filings, and Annette Greve, who is experienced in dawn raids and leniency institutes.

Full-service firm BAHR supports both public and private contracting authorities with the complete range of public procurement-related expertise. The team has a particular focus on healthcare and pharmaceutical sector procurements, often representing major international corporates. The team is co-headed by Beret Sundet, who routinely handles public procurement matters in the life sciences industry, and Arne Torsten Andersen, who is well-versed in all public procurement and EU/EEA matters as well as EFTA and ECHR litigation. Jan Einar Barbo and Sam E. Harris both focus on construction procurements, while Daniel Sipos has experience handling procurement issues in the rail and road sectors.
