Mr Sverre Sandvik > Wiersholm > Oslo, Norway > Lawyer Profile

Wiersholm fields a ‘top-quality‘ corporate practice that advises on national and cross-border M&A transactions across a wide range of sectors. The practice is co-headed by experienced M&A practitioner Harald Hellebust, who advises both private equity funds and industrial players, and the ‘excellent‘ Sverre Sandvik, who specialises in M&A, capital market transactions and general company and securities law. Gunhild Dugstad is a key contact for private equity transactions, and Kristian Martin Lind regularly advises on M&A, venture investments and general company law. The group also includes Ingjerd Røynås, who assists clients with matters relating to the technology, retail and industry sectors, and Kristian E. Ottesen, who advises companies in connection with M&A, capital market transactions and company law. Other notable practitioners are Hannah Advocaat Lund and Oscar Brown.

Acting for both issuers and trustees, Wiersholm stands out for its strength across the full spectrum of capital markets work, handling a high volume of private placements, bonds, IPOs and listing mandates. Equity capital markets work is a particular area of expertise for the firm. A key name here is Anne Lise E. Gryte, who has ‘invaluable and unmatched‘ expertise across all aspects of ECM work; she now co-heads the team alongside bond markets specialist Petter Thomren Moltu. Tone Østensen has extensive experience advising on IPOs, rights offerings, and convertible bond issuances, while the ‘razor sharp‘ Sverre Sandvik divides his practice between M&A and capital markets transactions.
