Schjødt Advokatpartnerselskab

With an uncompromising dedication to professional expertise, business understanding and client service, Schjødt aims to be the first choice when the stakes are high and important values are in play.

With its 320 legal professionals across offices in Oslo, Stavanger, Ålesund, Bergen, Stockholm, Copenhagen and London, Schjødt is internationally recognised and respected as one of Scandinavia’s top-tier law firms and the only firm with a full-service offering in all Scandinavian markets in addition to strong UK law capabilities.
