Banking and finance

Kasper has been a key driving force behind Haavind’s focus on financial regulatory advice for several years. The fact that he now becomes a partner is a strategic move to further develop an area with significant growth potential. In a market characterised by increasing regulations and complex requirements, in-depth financial regulatory expertise is becoming more important.

– I look forward to joining the partnership at Haavind. Working together with committed and skilled colleagues has made it possible to build our financial regulatory advisory environment into the strong team we have today. At the same time, I know that a lot of exciting work awaits us – more customers are facing new and complex regulatory challenges. I look forward to further developing both our team and our services, says Kasper.

Construction and dispute resolution

Emil has considerable experience in dispute resolution and construction in complex disputes and will further strengthen the team with his strong drive and high level of expertise. We are experiencing strong demand from our customers in both areas. 

– Becoming a partner in Haavind is a vote of confidence that I greatly appreciate. I have had the pleasure of being part of a strong and inclusive professional environment within construction and dispute resolution. Now I look forward to taking on even greater responsibility for further developing our team, contributing to professional growth, and ensuring that we continue to deliver solutions of the highest quality to our customers, says Emil.

We are very pleased to announce that two of our lawyers have been promoted to partner. Both have strong commercial insight and valuable expertise that address clear market needs in their respective specialties, says Managing Partner Preben Brecke
