BAHR

Client Satisfaction

Counting institutional investors, private equity funds, and developers, both foreign and domestic, among its impressive roster of clients, BAHR’s real estate department continues to act on several complex high-value real estate transactions and structuring matters. Under the leadership of seasoned real estate expert Anne Sofie Bjørkholt, the team has seen a recent increase in real estate work in the energy industry, advising on energy site acquisitions and developments. Bjørkholt focuses her practice on transactions, development work, and the structuring of real estate portfolios. Working alongside her is the ‘professionally skilled’ Andreas Rørvik, a key name for developments projects, real estate transactions, and project financings, while Ole Andreas Dimmen handles tax and company law matters for clients in the real estate sector.
