Expertise

Equity capital markets

Norway has a vibrant equity market that enables enterprises to grow and innovate. The Norwegian equity market is characterised by a large number of international players and is recognised as a world leader in energy, aquaculture and shipping. It is this international focus that drives developments in stock exchange and securities law. The regulations are largely based on EU directives and make major demands of market players.

Successful capital market transactions require specialist knowledge of a fragmented regulatory framework as well as a sound commercial understanding. We have extensive experience in all aspects of both equity and debt capital transactions, in addition to the financial regulatory framework and requirements for good corporate governance.


Selmer closely monitors market trends and changes in relevant regulations. We participate in regulatory development work and are represented on the Norwegian Bar Association’s stock exchange and securities law committee.
