About

Provided by Advokatfirmaet Schjødt

Schjødt's founder, Annæus Schødt, was a renowned litigator in Norway. The firm has a century-long tradition of success in all dispute resolution fields. Schjødt has an outstanding track record in national and international courts and regularly advises clients in international arbitration. Schjødt's results have been achieved through legal excellence and innovative thinking; they are at the forefront of development regarding dispute resolution strategy.

Compared to the traditional culture of top-tier commercial law firms, Schjødt has always given equal priority to dispute litigation and corporate law. Thus, they have an excellent balance of talent and skills, from senior partners to young associates, all dedicated to excellence in their chosen profession. Their emphasis on comprehensive training, coaching and hands-on experience has created an innovative and goal-oriented environment.

Schjødt believes the best results are achieved by specialisation, i.e. litigation lawyers handling litigation matters, rather than allowing client-account lawyers to have their day in court as has often been the case in Norwegian firms. Schjødt was the first of the major firms to adopt this approach, and they have highly developed methods and techniques to ensure that clients are provided with a cost-efficient team comprising dispute resolution experts and specialists in the relevant field of law or the client's industry.
