Schjødt is a law firm that is quickly growing its international capabilities, having joined forces with oil and gas boutique Michelet & Co in 2019 to boost the depth of its experience in international energy work, and merging with the Swedish law firm Hamilton early in 2020, to build a pan-Nordic presence well placed to handle cross-border issues in the region. Identifying as a truly full-service law firm, it has strong experience advising clients across a broad range of cross-border matters, both transactional and contentious.
The law firm frequently acts for Norwegian clients facing issues in foreign jurisdictions, and several of the firm's lawyers have an impressive amount of experience in dealing with overseas business, including projects in China, India and the USA. It also represents a wide range of foreign investors and international companies from the energy sector, as well as private equity clients in M&A and financing work. It also represents state clients in international arbitration. The law firm has a UK office in London which also plays a key role in the firm's international relationships.
