Welcome to Ketil Sellæg Ramberg

We are strengthening our team with Ketil Sellæg Ramberg as a new partner in TMI.

Ketil Sellæg Ramberg works at the intersection of technology, intellectual property law and commercial contracts, often in transactions and strategic collaborations where technology and IP represent a significant part of the values.

Ketil joins from DLA Piper, where he was a partner for three and a half years. Before that, he was a partner at Sands for nearly 14 years. In addition to his law degree, he has written a master’s thesis in innovation management at NTNU, NHH and Cambridge University. He has been admitted to the Supreme Court since 2023, and has also acted as counsel in arbitration proceedings and before the EFTA Court.

A large part of Ketil’s practice concerns how technology and intellectual property rights can be developed, commercialised and protected through transactions, licensing, strategic collaborations or dispute resolution. He advises on matters where intellectual property and technology assets form a central part of the commercial picture, and where specialist legal expertise must be combined with strategic and commercial understanding.

Strengthening a key area

Managing partner Preben Brecke is very pleased with the new appointment.

“With Ketil on the team, Haavind strengthens both the width and the depth of a strong professional environment that assists clients in complex transactions, strategic collaborations, disputes and commercialisation processes. The recruitment supports the firm’s ambition to be a leading adviser in matters where technology, business and law meet,”.

Brecke points out that Haavind is seeing a clear increase in the need for advice at the intersection of technology and IP, transactions and dispute resolution.

“Ketil joins an area where we already have a high level of activity and see continued growth. He combines substantial legal expertise with a strong commercial understanding, and will further strengthen us in complex projects and transactions,” he says.

The recruitment is in line with Haavind’s strategic focus on further developing strong professional environments within corporate and dispute resolution, while also strengthening the firm’s capacity for clients and projects in matters where technology, digitalisation, intellectual property rights and commercial agreements are central.
