On Wednesday 4th June, Legal 500 launched the 2025 edition of the GC Powerlist: Norway. In partnership with DLA Piper, Legal 500 was delighted to welcome over 80 of the country’s leading legal practitioners for an evening of networking and celebration.
The 2025 edition of the GC Powerlist: Norway recognises an outstanding group of senior in-house counsel from across the country and reflects the achievements, dedication and commitment of in-house legal teams.
Isabel Caine, Event content editor, opened the evening before handing over to Camilla Wollan, Managing partner at DLA Piper Norway, who gave a welcome address. Guests were then able to collect their certificates and take their official photograph to commemorate the occasion.
The evening then gave way to networking and canapes, with attendees taking the opportunity to connect with peers and engage in lively discussions while looking out onto Oslo’s harbour.
