Eight International strengthens its Nordic presence with OWL

OWL brings deep expertise in financial and tax due diligence, with a strong track record advising investors, portfolio companies and entrepreneur-led businesses across Sweden and the broader Nordic region. The addition reinforces Eight International’s capacity to support clients on cross-border transactions involving the Nordics, one of Europe’s most active deal markets.  

Markus Ödbring, Founder of OWL, said:

“For OWL, Eight International is a natural fit. We share the same entrepreneurial mindset, senior-led approach and commitment to high-quality advice in complex situations. By joining the organisation, we strengthen our ability to support Nordic clients in cross-border transactions, while also bringing local market expertise to Eight International’s global platform.

Pascal Raidron, President of Eight International, said:

“OWL’s addition is a deliberate step in building our Nordic coverage. Their senior-led model and deep local relationships are exactly what our clients need when navigating critical moments of their businesses in the region. We are very pleased to welcome them to the organisation.

The Nordic region represents one of Europe’s most sophisticated and active advisory markets, characterised by a strong private equity ecosystem, high volumes of cross-border M&A activity and a growing demand for independent, senior-led expertise. With OWL’s addition, Eight International is now positioned to serve clients across this market with the same depth and quality it delivers globally. This milestone reflects the organisation’s broader ambition: to build a truly integrated global platform, market by market, through partnerships grounded in shared values and complementary capabilities.
