Our lawyers provide dispute resolution and advisory services in all areas of labour law. We place great emphasis on being knowledgeable about the client's business, and providing clear and commercial advice tailored to the client's needs.
We provide assistance within the entire field of labour law and have long and broad experience across industries. We provide advice related to hiring, ongoing personnel matters, competition clauses, layoffs and staff reductions. Furthermore, we have extensive experience with various incentive schemes, pensions, transactions, business transfers and collective wage agreements.
Our lawyers are also good advisers when companies face more complicated labour law issues. We have extensive experience in negotiations and labour law disputes before the courts, and have assisted with several large high-profiled Norwegian labour law cases in recent years.
Our clients include large Norwegian and international companies, and we regularly provide cross-border advice. The department is highly ranked in the national and international law firm ratings.

The advice Tron gives is sharp, commercial and always valuable.
He is excellent.
Tron Dalheim is a go to lawyer for any employment matters in Norway. He is highly recommended, always attentive and always on top of his game.

I am both impressed and very happy with Stein's contribution.
When I work with Stein I know he has my back.
He is the most commercial partner.
Stein demonstrates strong commercial awareness and outstanding client service.

Håkon Berge is active in a wide range of employment mandates, including bargaining agreements, reorganisations, downsizing and dismissals. He also handles contentious matters such as whistle-blowing cases.
Håkon's advice has consistently been clear and grounded in a deep understanding of both the legal landscape and our business needs.
