About

Provided by SANDS

SANDS has one of the country’s leading environments for civil proceedings. Through 14 lawyers admitted to the Supreme Court, the firm has contributed to Norwegian legal development through many important principal decisions in recent years. With 167 lawyers, SANDS belongs to the small handful of Norwegian law firms that have the necessary legal expertise, professional insight and, not least, the capacity to handle large national and international disputes within business law.

Procedural expertise and professional knowledge go hand in hand

Procedure is an independent subject in rapid development. SANDS has a clear awareness that procedural expertise is never enough on its own. It must be combined with professional knowledge. SANDS has a number of competent specialist departments with partners who regularly litigate within their areas. For matters within e.g. construction, intellectual property rights or shipping, it is crucial to have updated and in-depth insight into the relevant subjects, businesses and industries.

As a client of SANDS, you will therefore meet a flexible and top-heavy team built around one partner within procedure, and one specialist from a specialist department. Additional resources are connected when necessary, so that you as a client will never be charged for unnecessary hours and will always experience an attentive and professional partner who answers the phone when you call.
