Dispute resolution

When a dispute arises, the implications for a business can be far-reaching. The way a matter is handled from the outset is often decisive in determining the eventual outcome. In an increasingly complex commercial landscape, shaped by heightened regulatory pressures, digital transformation, and globalised trade, safeguarding business interests demands both strategic foresight and specialist legal expertise.

We are recognised as one of Norway’s leading dispute resolution teams, offering focused, cost-effective support at every stage of a dispute. Our lawyers combine deep legal knowledge with sector-specific insight and cutting-edge tools to deliver swift, precise, and commercially attuned advice.

We represent clients in all forms of dispute resolution, from negotiations and mediation to litigation and arbitration, and support both domestic and international businesses in achieving their objectives and securing the most favourable outcomes. Through our structured approach to litigation risk analysis, we equip clients with a solid foundation for informed decision-making throughout the process.

Ability to “think outside the box” in the initial phases of situational analysis. This, combined with deep subject matter knowledge, constitutes a framework for creative solutions.
