Offering advice across the full spectrum of capital market work including IPOs and private placements, Wiersholm is praised by clients as the ‘strongest capital markets team in Norway’. A key name for ECM work is Anne Lise E. Gryte, who co-heads the team alongside Petter Thomren Moltu, who specialises in DCM mandates with experience in debt restructurings, and Sverre Sandvik, who is a ’stand-out capital markets lawyer’ who advises on IPOs, right offerings and private placements. Tone Østensen advises on stock exchange listings and public and private placements. The strength of the team has been bolstered by the arrival of Audun Dahle-Nedrelid from BAHR in March 2024, who is an expert in debt capital and debt financing matters.
