Highlights
A significant project development highlight includes advising
on a major public deal called Brevik CCS, part of the Norwegian government's Longship programme, which aims to capture, transport and safely storage CO₂ from industrial sources. The Longship project is the first of its kind in Europe and the first full scale capture of CO₂. In this unprecedented project, the firm is operating and advising in a new regulatory and legal environment that challenges and actively shapes the future of the sector's legal landscape.
Another notable example of the firm’s work includes the firm’s active role in advising Goldman Sachs on the high-profile acquisition of Kahoot! The deal represents one of the largest public-to-private tech transactions in the Norwegian market. This deal reflects the firm’s presence in some of the markets largest mandates on a regular basis.
