Aabø-Evensen & Co is a boutique M&A firm noted for the first time. "Very solution oriented, sees all problems but comes up with solutions, very efficient, turns around our issues extremely fast and always available to deliver in a short time period," says a client. Another says the firm was good at finding "practical and commercial solutions".
"Very much solution driven, one which can work with both parties," says a client, adding that the firm is "better value" and provides "better services than you would get in the big premier league firms".
Ole Aabø-Evensen and Nils Årseth led on all of the main M&A transactions.
In examples of work from last year, Aabø-Evensen advised on the largest M&A in the fishing industry in 2010, acting for Nergård, Hopen and Lysnes on their acquisition by a consortium of Norwegian investors in December 2010. Another high profile deal saw him advise private equity fund CVC Capital in its bid for the healthcare company Handicare, which was eventually sold by Herkules Capital for over €382 million.
Årseth was also engaged by Oslo listed Simtronics Group and the company's board on Autronica Fire and Securities' bid for the company. Årseth also advised Fugro, a large geotechnical services company of 13,500 staff across 50 countries and listed in Amsterdam, on its acquisition of Bluestone Offshore and its subsidiaries off Reef Subsea, which operates in South Asia and Australia.
