After three months of discussions, Forsberg and Advokatfirmaet NOVA DA have agreed to join forces under the name Advokatfirmaet Forsberg AS. Svein Egil Heikvam will take on the role of managing partner, while Erik Rosen from NOVA will chair the board.
“We’re very pleased with the merger,” says Erik Rosen, managing partner at NOVA. “Our firms share the same values and ambitions. We are committed to strong legal expertise and commercial insight. Clients and colleagues should feel confident that we have their best interests at heart – a goal that matters just as much to us as financial performance. We aim to be long-term business partners. This merger puts us in a strong position to offer an attractive alternative to larger law firms, especially for mid-sized companies and private individuals involved in business and investment activities.”
Svein Egil Heikvam, managing partner at Advokatfirmaet Forsberg, also welcomes the merger and sees a clear strengthening of both capacity and competitiveness.
“We look forward to combining our resources and expertise to deliver even better services and advice to our clients,” Heikvam says. “The merger gives us a strong platform to position ourselves clearly in the segments we serve.”
From its start, Advokatfirmaet Forsberg AS will have around 20 lawyers and legal professionals. The firm will offer specialised legal advice across all core areas of business law, including tax and duties, corporate law, transactions, employment law, contract law, and dispute resolution.
Our new offices will be located at Wergelandsveien 1–3 in Oslo, just 400 metres from our current offices in Stortingsgaten and within easy reach of Nationaltheatret station.
Clients and partners will receive further information about the practical aspects of the merger well in advance of 1 September 2025.
