Employment law is continuously evolving, shaped by increased regulation, higher expectations of responsible employer practices and growing public scrutiny. This places greater demands on employers. We advise Norwegian and international businesses across the full spectrum of individual and collective employment law – from strategic advice, employment contracts and HR matters to restructurings and redundancies, terminations agreements, investigations and enquiries, workplace accidents, regulatory inspections, transfers of undertakings and transactions, incentive schemes, pensions, regulatory matters and dispute resolution.
Our clients range from large listed companies to small and medium-sized enterprises and public sector organisations. Several of our lawyers have experience as in-house counsel, from employers’ associations and from the courts, providing a strong foundation for practical and effective advice. With leading employment lawyers in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger, we deliver seamless support both nationally and internationally. Through close collaboration with other practice areas and leading international law firms, we provide integrated advice in complex, cross-disciplinary matters.
Strategic advice
A holistic approach ensures that each matter is assessed in the context of the organisation’s broader processes, objectives and risk profile. Legal and reputational risks are identified at an early stage, before they develop into more significant challenges.
Our advice goes beyond answering legal questions – it provides clear recommendations on what is strategically sound and practically achievable. Solutions are assessed in light of other processes within the organisation, how they will be perceived internally and externally, and how they are likely to be assessed by regulators and the courts.
This approach provides a stronger basis for decision-making, greater predictability and reduced risk, while enabling growth and value creation.
An accessible and effective adviser
With more than 20 dedicated employment law specialists in Oslo, Bergen and Stavanger, we offer significant flexibility and capacity when needed. Work is organised in teams, ensuring that multiple lawyers are familiar with the business and can contribute efficiently where required.
Early involvement increases room for manoeuvre and reduces the risk of matters escalating. A significant part of our work involves ongoing sparring with management and HR on issues that require swift and well-founded assessments.
