About

One source speaks glowingly of Audun Moen as a ‘visionary, inspiring and enthusiastic leader who simply delivers great results’. Since 2003 Moen has been employed by DNB, Norway’s largest financial group and one of the largest in terms of market share in the Nordics. DNB is also a leader in the digital banking space, something which routinely sees Moen offering advice on a fast developing area of law. For example, the legal and regulatory implications of the recently introduced payment application “Vipps” has been a significant focus of his work. Moen also played an important role in facilitating the creation of DNB in 2003, assisting with the merger of Norwegian Bank (DnB) and Gjensidige NOR. Almost 15 years later, he has a comprehensive understanding of DNB’s businesses, is fully integrated in the company’s hierarchy and has a clear vision of his legal team’s role with the organisation. One source says of Moen: ‘He is closely connected to management and in key strategic matters of the Group, and is simultaneously always in touch with his own legal department. My impression is that he has a very high standing in both DNB’s legal function and across the organisation as a whole.’ In 2017, Moen helped the bank’s asset management division enter into an agreement to sell its share of the Dakota Access Pipeline loan. His major recent achievements include securing an agreement in 2016 with Nordea to combine their respective operations in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, thus creating a leading main bank in the Baltics with strong Nordic roots. Before joining DNB, Moen spent four years at law firm Brugge, Arentz-Hansen & Rasmussen, known today as Advokatfirmaet BA-HR DA.
