In public procurement, we support clients throughout the tender cycle - from strategic planning and tender design to bid assessments, framework agreements and disputes. We have extensive experience representing both authorities and suppliers before KOFA and in injunction and court proceedings.

Known for strong advocacy skills and deep regulatory insight, our team is frequently involved in high-value, sensitive and precedent-setting matters. This combination of expertise and sector knowledge positions Arntzen Grette as a leading adviser in Norway for competition and procurement law.
