Get is a cable TV operator and internet service provider, which has the second largest customer base in Norway. In 2014, Get was acquired by Danish company TDC in a deal estimated at $2.2bn, rendering it a key part of the Nordic region’s largest digital and broadband company. Although Get’s advanced position in the mark has been achieved by the excellence of a number of divisions within the company, nominators cited the legal function, led by general counsel Laila Myksvoll, as integral to the success. The legal department exhibited a high degree of dedication during the divestment and post-divestment of the organisation, helping the transaction run smoothly and in line with the expected timeframes. The team was in charge of the allocation of internal and external legal resources and oversaw the entire development of the project. The legal function are additionally praised by nominators for their excellent litigation skills, an expertise which has seen them win large cases and ultimately reduce costs for the company. As Get begins to expand into new product lines and markets such as smart homes and security, the legal team will be required to advise on matters that have little legislative and regulatory precedent; for the company to succeed the Myksvoll and team will be crucial.
