About

Founded in 1822, DNB is the largest financial services group in Norway and one of the largest in the Nordic region in terms of market capitalisation. Such a profile means that the Bank requires and attracts the best lawyers to the ranks of its legal department. Described by nominators during this year’s research as having ‘perhaps the largest group of legal expertise within banking and finance, also compared with any law firm’, the DNB legal function is one of the most respected in the country as it brims with top legal talent. Group general counsel Audun Moen leads the legal team, drawing on his 13 years of experience at the company to ensure the department is closely aligned to the business. In addition to its undoubted technical legal expertise and business focused mind-set, the team is credited for promoting female lawyers in the legal industry as well as utilising new digital solutions to provide faster responses and better counselling and advice for the benefit of DNB and its customers.
