About
Provided by BAHR
Much of our work has a global dimension and clients can expect the highest international standards and experience from BAHR’s team. We support our Norwegian clients in global transactions and advise foreign businesses on operations in the Norwegian market. In addition, we regularly handle assignments with multinational aspects, either taking responsibility for coordinating multi-jurisdictional transactions and disputes, or contributing as Norwegian lawyers to international projects.
We have no offices of our own outside Norway. Instead, we have forged strong relationships with a host of leading law firms in a range of jurisdictions. This means that we can offer our clients high-quality legal assistance wherever and whenever they need it. The strong personal relationships we have developed help to ensure our clients have access to skilled and practical assistance from leading colleagues across the world – often under our supervision. As an independent law firm, however, we will always recommend the best team for the job and are happy to work closely with clients’ established international networks of advisers. Clients can trust us to provide a consistently excellent, seamless service across their international operations.
