International & Cross-Border Capabilities

Chambers Review

DLA Piper's full-service pan-Nordic platform is well positioned to act for clients across the region. The law firm has built an especially strong appeal among multinational investors with Nordic-based businesses looking for a single legal partner across the region. DLA Piper's Norwegian office regularly cooperates with the law firm's offices in Finland, Sweden and Denmark on cross-border transactions and disputes, both as lead and local counsel. The Oslo-based team is also active in handling inbound investment from Asia, the USA and Europe, working together with colleagues from DLA's many other global offices. 

Key areas of international work for the practice have included investments from Asia into Norway, regularly advising Chinese investors on corporate M&A and other transactions. The law firm also has a strong sector focus, with a good following of clients in the energy, construction and finance spheres, among others. Additionally, the law firm is active on cross-border contentious matters on behalf of foreign and multinational clients, particularly in construction disputes.
