Our lawyers give clients practical legal and strategic advice adapted to their individual needs. We also provide assistance to the public sector and to companies and private individuals involved in tax-law cases being heard by the courts. Several of our lawyers in this specialist area have been admitted to the Norwegian Supreme Court.
We have experience in most sectors, but would particularly mention: trade, advertising, real estate, fisheries/fish farming, the IT sector, the food and beverages industry and shipping.
Although our clients mainly consist of medium-sized and small enterprises, listed companies and private individuals are also clients.
