About

Considered one of Norway’s best international lawyers, Laila Myksvoll has an excellent reputation for her extensive experience in the legal field. In 2010 she was appointed as general counsel for Get, a Norwegian 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 for an estimated $2.2bn, rendering it a key part of the Nordic region’s largest digital and broadband company. As well as playing a key part in this transaction, Myksvoll has also played a vital role in Get’s many challenging negotiations, for instance holding talks with broadcasters, content providers and collection societies. When taking these commercial discussions as a whole, the result has put Get at the forefront of the market in terms of new solutions and technologies – such as using tablets and smart phones to distribute TV content outside the customers’ home. Myksvoll ensures that her legal team has a ‘hands on’ approach when ensuring compliance in a highly regulated sector, meaning that legal advice can be efficient when presented to Get’s management and board. With her guidance the legal team contributes actively to the dynamic business environment of Get in order to maintain the company’s position as a market leader in terms of growth and innovation. Myksvoll has instilled excellent litigation skills in the legal team, winning large cases and reducing costs for the company. For example, in 2016 Get won a much debated case in the Norwegian Supreme Court against Norwaco, a case where the legal team’s judgement and persistence played an important role.
