Norway

Headed by Partner Tim Walker, who has been doing business with Norway for more than 20 years, our team has a good understanding of the Norwegian business environment. It is a happy coincidence that our hourly rates are almost identical to the leading Oslo law firms. This means that Norwegian businesses can obtain English legal advice secure in the knowledge that they will not have to pay the exorbitant fees charged by London law firms.

We recognise that cost is not everything. A Norwegian business instructing an overseas lawyer must be confident that it will receive high quality advice. Our track record speaks for itself. We regularly advise leading Oslo law firms like Schjodt, Simonsens, Thommessens and Wiersholms and their clients on commercial, corporate, information technology, intellectual property, employment, litigation, insolvency and property matters.

One of the complaints commonly made by Norwegian business people about English lawyers is that their advice is often more complex than it needs to be and that their documents are too long. In assisting our Norwegian clients we are always mindful of this and do our best to “keep it simple”.
