Oslo showed its best winter side in February when Haavind hosted a regional meeting of the Celia Alliance.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss legal and business issues we have in common, improve cooperation between us and explore possibilities for expansion to new markets and new members. Haavind’s 14th floor conference facilities served as venue, providing an excellent view of the snow covered city.

After a fruitful day’s work, the visitors took part in “the Nordic Experience” – sledding in the “Korken” and dinner at Frognerseteren. Definitely an exotic element for urban lawyers from Paris, London and Brussels.
