BAHR is a Norwegian commercial law firm, serving both Norwegian and international businesses and government bodies. Our practice encompasses all key areas of commercial law including a leading tax and VAT practice. One of the hallmarks of BAHR is our seamless approach to large, complex and often multijurisdictional transactions.

Our team consists of experienced generalists and specialists who collaborate closely, ensuring in-depth industry knowledge and market-leading expertise. Many leading Norwegian and international clients rely on us for domestic and cross-border legal challenges due to our broad international experience and business acumen.

In Norway, navigating the complex tax system is crucial. BAHR's large professional tax, VAT, and accountancy group, consist of skilled lawyers with extensive experience and offers comprehensive tax advice on restructuring, mergers, acquisitions, financings, and other transactions. We are particularly known for our expertise in transfer pricing and special tax regimes for the shipping, petroleum, and hydroelectric power industries, as well as real estate and private equity. Strong relationships with tax authorities, academic leaders, and industry figures enable us to provide top-quality, pragmatic advice.

Our well-renowned contentious practice handles all types of complaints, appeals, and litigation related to tax and VAT issues. Several of our litigation experts have experience from handling tax and VAT disputes on behalf of the tax authorities before joining our firm. Unlike several other law firms in Norway, we are committed to exclusively representing taxpayers and will never represent the tax authorities in court against a taxpayer.
