Wikborg Rein on top of Mergermarket 2024

13/01/2025

We are truly pleased to share that we are ranked as the leading M&A firm by deal count in Mergermarket's league table for Norway for the full year of 2024.

Reading time 2 minutes

We secured the top spot by being involved in 186 registered M&A transactions. This is the first time we are No. 1 on Mergermarket and 186 transactions is historically high in the Norwegian context! Ole Henrik Wille, Head of our firm's Corporate, Finance and Tax practice, is thrilled about the news. 

"A strong year"

"We have had a strong year where we have taken significant market share. We have been involved in most of the large transactions in the market, both private M&A and public-to-private M&A (also ranked as no 1 on number of P2P transactions), and we have worked with a great mix of Private Equity/Infrastructure fonds, family offices and large corporates as clients. 2025 has also started off well and we hope to continue the great development in our team" Wille says. 

The Mergermarket achievement is a result of great team work, here represented by Kristoffer Tjørn Seime and Lars Erik Lien from our Bergen offices

"The trend in the transaction market over several years continues with ranking number 1 in deal count for 2024 and we will continue to work hard to obtain the best solutions for our clients. We are very grateful to our clients, and I am incredibly proud of our transaction team and the people working here for their dedication and outstanding performance" Opedal says. 

Congratulations to all those involved!
