Haavind has one of Norway’s largest and most highly qualified legal teams within the construction and offshore field. The team assists employers, builders, developers, contractors, consultants and suppliers.
Our lawyers offer a combination of excellent legal knowledge and deep sector-specific insight.
The Legal 500 (2018) - Tier 1
We assist clients throughout all project phases, providing expert advice as the project proceeds forward – this ensures foreseeability and reduces the risk of disputes arising.
With the recent recruitment of partners Ida Espolin Johnson and Bjørn Sørgård, Haavind is positioned as industry leaders within fisheries and aquaculture law. Espolin Johnson and Sørgård will play central roles in making Haavind the preferred provider of legal services to clients within aquaculture and marine industries.
With the addition of Ida and Bjørn, Haavind secures a position as a leading advisor in the fisheries and aquaculture industry.
With six Tier-1 rankings, all in key strategic areas, and solid positions in several others, Haavind continues our position as a Top Tier firm at this year’s Legal 500 rankings.
We are pleased to announce that Who’s Who Legal named our Mikal Brøndmo to its 2019 global list of Future Leaders of Arbitration.
Experience shows that construction and offshore projects in general are particularly exposed to conflicts, so at Haavind we emphasise dispute resolution expertise.
In our construction and offshore group, 9 out of 10 partners are admitted to appear before the Norwegian Supreme Court.
Sharing knowledge is also important to us and members of our construction and offshore team have published commentaries to several key Norwegian standard contracts e.g. NS 3430 (1994), NS 8405 (2004) and NS 8407 (2013). We are frequently asked to speak at public seminars and at clients’ internal events.
