About

Recently undergoing a restructuring effort, the Danske Bank (Norge) legal team was previously managed via two separate entities; one of which reported directly to the group legal counsel in Denmark, whilst the other had a reporting line to the head of legal in Norway. Realising the need for a more collaborative approach, the legal staff at the bank have come together after a merger of these two teams. Head of legal for the Norwegian arm of Danske Bank is Thomas Stølen, who assumed his position in February 2016 following the reorganisation. The Danish bank has operations throughout the region, and it needs an expert legal team in each country to support its continued growth.
