Asset Management

The asset management sector is global, dynamic and characterised by a complex regulatory landscape. This requires advisors with an in-depth understanding of the interaction between regulatory requirements, market developments and commercial realities.

Haavind assists a broad range of Norwegian and international players within the asset management sector, with specialised assistance throughout all phases of a fund’s life cycle – from establishment and structuring to capital raising, transactions and ongoing regulatory assistance.

Our strength lies in the combination of industry knowledge, specialist legal expertise and commercial understanding, closely integrated across practice areas including Private Equity, Finance Regulatory¸ ESG, Compliance og Tax. This enables us to provide advice that is not only legally precise, but also strategically grounded and practicable applicable.

We regularly assist a broad range of participants in the sector, including asset managers, securities firms, investment companies, family offices, insurance companies and third-party service providers.

Our ambition is to be an adviser that understands both the details and the bigger picture – and that contributes to good solutions in a market characterized by high demands and continuous development.

We assist with, amongst other things:

establishment of asset management firms and authorisation processes
structuring of various fund types, including the preparation and negotiation of key fund and management documentation
marketing and distribution to professional and non-professional investors, both domestically and on a cross-border basis into and out of Norway
issues relating to regulatory matters, compliance and ESG, both nationally and at EU level
investments in various fund structures, as well as the purchase and sale of fund units/interests, including the preparation and negotiation of the relevant contractual documentation
