We have solid understanding of the insurance market, and we also have considerable experience with and expertise on compensation in that respect. We have been involved in a number of major disputes before the courts of law and in arbitration, and cases we have litigated before the Norwegian Supreme Court have helped establish applicable law on the area.

Dispute resolution is about getting the best advices and also striking the balance between legal, commercial and strategic dispute resolution advice. It is about thorough preparation for litigation without losing sight of an alternative solution. We are committed to resolving disputes as efficiently as possible and are focused on offering solutions that are commercial and practical.

A contract process consists of several phases. The contract must be prepared, drafted, negotiated, executed and terminated. Regardless of phase, it is essential to find the best legal and commercial solution. We have considerable experience from contract negotiations, contract drafting, project implementation and final settlement, as well as dispute resolution if the contract is not executed as planned. We assist in every phase of the contract and on every area of contract law, from simple to complex contracts, both Norwegian and international, for instance regarding distribution of services.
