Acquisition assisted by Oaklins

Oaklins’ team in Norway and Netherlands served as the exclusive financial advisor to the shareholders of Reflekt Helse in this transaction.

Oaklins was recommended to us, and they immediately set up a highly qualified team with a solid action plan. Their international reach was activated, and the process followed the plan 100%. The advice and honest feedback we received during this process ensured a successful sale, and I have no doubt that I will recommend Oaklins to others who are planning an exit or acquisition Per-Egil Aas, Managing Director of Reflekt Holding AS
