Corporate law and transactions
Company law is a key area of law that affects all forms of business in Norway. Company law is developing rapidly in line with society, while at the same time there is widespread legislation in the area. Complex issues often arise in connection with the establishment, operation, transformation, winding up and sale of companies, and good legal advice can be crucial to safeguarding assets.
