Chambers 2024: New promotions for Haavind
Haavind’s restructuring team is elevated to band 1 in the new Chambers Europe guide. The firm now has six practice areas in band 1, and a total of 41 ranked Haavind lawyers.
Top-ranked Ellen Schult Ulriksen is joined by Karianne Evje Skiaker on the individual lists, while the entire restructuring team is ranked in band 1 for the first time in this year’s guide.
– Our restructuring team has delivered very high quality over time in complex Norwegian and international insolvency and restructuring cases. The team deserves this recognition and it shows that our clients are very satisfied with our assistance, says Managing Partner at Haavind, Preben Brecke.
In addition to restructuring, Haavind has five areas of expertise in band 1: renewable energy, real estate, labour law, aquaculture and construction.
There is also strong individual progress, with five new Haavind lawyers on the lists:
Mari Reitzel Bjerke (Renewable energy)
Christina P. Melson (Public procurement)
Anne Hesjedal Sending (Public procurement)
Henrik Taubøll (Real estate)
Karianne Evje Skiaker (Insolvency and restructuring)
For the first time, Haavind also has two lawyers in band 1 within one and the same practice area: Ida E. Johnson moves up to the top category within aquaculture, where Bjørn Sørgårdwas already top ranked.
– We are very pleased with the strong progress we have made in both national and international rankings in recent years. This is a team victory for Haavind, and it shows that our strategy of focusing on high quality and investing in key industries and sectors is yielding good results. We would like to thank our customers for their positive feedback on our work,” says Brecke.
