Professional Liability

Professionals today face increasingly stringent standards of liability and a growing body of regulation. With stricter rules come closer scrutiny from regulators, as well as heightened attention from clients, partners, colleagues and owners. A liability claim can carry significant financial consequences, while also undermining trust in both the company and its leadership. Handling such matters correctly from the outset is critical to minimising risk and securing the best possible outcome.

Stricter compliance requirements, digitalisation and greater rights awareness are making liability cases more complex, particularly in relation to ESG reporting, technology and financial advisory. The demand for specialised legal advice and risk management has therefore never been greater.

Arntzen Grette has Norway’s leading practice in professional liability. We advise insurers and professionals on disputes, recourse claims and regulatory issues. With decades of experience in the most complex liability cases in Norway, we provide specialist advice that ensures security and predictability. We also make use of advanced digital tools to analyse litigation risk and assess the value of claims, giving our clients a strong basis for negotiations and strategic decision-making.
