Corporate M&A
“The lawyers have excellent technical legal skills combined with a highly commercial and pragmatic approach. They also provide excellent client support and turnaround.”
BAHR – excellence as standard
Mergers can make or break companies. So it’s vital that your advisors have first class legal knowledge – vital but not enough: they also need deep understanding of clients’ industries and goals, allowing them to deliver creative, pragmatic advice and anticipate challenges. Sizeable resources are a must, as is skill in a range of ancillary areas, from finance and tax to IP and employment.
Consistently top ranked by legal directories and research organisations like Mergermarket, BAHR has all these things. From bolt-on acquisitions for private equity portfolio companies to major international M&A, we bring together appropriately sized teams with the right skills to guide our clients smoothly through all stages of the deal. Over time we have built a track record of success in significant transactions, such as:
- Assisting Adevinta on the USD 13.3 billion takeover offer led by Permira and Blackstone, as well as General Atlantic and TCV for all shares in Adevinta – the largest public takeover offer in Norway’s history and one of the most significant take-private transactions in Europe in 2023.
- Advising PGS on its USD 1.8 billion merger with TGS to create a strong full-service energy data company.
- Advising NTS on its USD 962 million sale of shares in OSE-listed Frøy to the Goldman Sachs Group.
BAHR’s corporate lawyers operate in a wide range of sectors, advising leading players on IPOs, mergers, demergers, corporate restructurings, share issues, takeovers and bids, and are particularly known for their expertise in large, complex multijurisdictional transactions.
