Trade

Trade is the backbone of Norwegian business, driving value creation, employment and exports. The industry is characterised by complex value chains — from raw materials to end customers — where stable contracts and regulatory predictability are crucial for success. Without an efficient industrial and trade sector, society cannot function. Robust legal frameworks are essential to keep the sector running smoothly.

Rising international standards, digitalisation, and a stronger focus on sustainability are challenging established business models. At the same time, companies must navigate extensive regulations from the EU/EEA and Norwegian authorities. From procurement and distribution to staffing, export, franchising and intellectual property, clear and risk-managed agreements are key to secure and profitable operations.

For generations, we have supported and shaped Norwegian trade and industry across sectors. We work with – and for – many traditional industrial and trading companies, as well as key players within technology and emerging markets. With a cross-disciplinary team of specialists in employment law, finance and technology, we help you reduce risk, identify new opportunities, and ensure sound business operations, wherever you are in the value chain.
