Vogt & Wiig has for a number of years been regarded as one of the leading law firms in the fields of litigation, arbitration and alternative dispute resolution. We have at all times up to 200 running litigation cases proceeding before the ordinary and arbitration courts, and 9 of our lawyers have also been admitted to the Norwegian Supreme Court. Amongst our clients in this field are several of Norway’s leading finance institutions as well as several listed companies. However, we also offer services to private enterprises and individuals. The 2009 edition of the Legal 500 states that Vogt & Wiig "is a centre of excellence for litigation and arbitration in shipping and marine insurance".
We handle disputes in most of the business-law areas. Our expertise in maritime-related matters is, however, especially accredited and we have in this particular area litigated many high-profile cases. Arrest and various injunctions comprise another focus area. We have furthermore built up a reputation for litigating bank-related disputes and one of our lawyers is amongst those most frequently chosen to act as an arbitrator in high-profile commercial cases.
Our expertise in personal injury is also highly recognized. The Legal 500 have previously described us as the market leader in handling personal injury litigation claims and we have litigated several of these in the Supreme Court over the past few years. In addition, our lawyers have extensive knowledge and experience of acting for private individuals in a wide range of disputes relating to such fields as labour law, the sale and purchase of real estate, tax and family law and the break up of marriages/cohabitation arrangements.
