We worked almost exclusively with partner Bjarte Bogstad. Besides his “legal” skills, he was clear and concise in his dealings with our counterparts, and not afraid to take on difficult matters. As a CFO I further appreciated his skills in our discussions about financial and even accounting matters related to the deal.

Bjarte Bogstad is a nice guy, works hard, and wants the client to succeed. He has both a good overview and full control of all details.
