After the Skandia raid in 1991–1992, when UNI Storebrand bought shares in Skandia without acquiring control over the company, and the shares later plummeted, Langangen was forced to leave Storebrand. He had also been the chair of Statoil from 1987, but left Statoil as well. In Statoil he had, together with the board, fired the chief executive Arve Johnsen following the Mongstad scandal. [1]

Langangen left the insurance business and became a junior solicitor in the law firm Thune & Co.
