Public Sector
BAHR is always a top-quality firm for various matters in the Norwegian market with great quality and value.
Working in the public sector calls for a special kind of expertise. It requires the ability to craft creative, pragmatic solutions to commercial problems while understanding the particular demands faced by governmental and quasi-governmental bodies. This includes navigating the stringent regulatory frameworks in which they operate.
BAHR has been advising ministries, public bodies, agencies, municipalities, and wholly- or partly-state-owned companies since the 1980s. Our experience includes handling significant mandates such as deregulating the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, state railways, postal service, aviation sector, and pharmacies.
Some of our notable projects include:
- Advising Statsbygg on the NOK 6 billion construction of the new National Museum in Oslo.
- Representing Argentum Fondsinvesteringer in a significant case against the Norwegian tax authorities.
- Acting for Oslo Municipality on the NOK 20 billion public takeover of Hafslund ASA.
Whether it’s an infrastructure scheme, restructuring, or contracting process, BAHR’s experience ensures smooth operations. Our public sector experts provide advice on company, contract, and competition law, as well as IT, employment, and tax. We also assist leading international companies in tendering for public contracts.
