Real estate

Advokatfirmaet Schjødt AS

Leveraging the firm’s corporate, commercial and finance capabilities, Advokatfirmaet Schjødt continues to act on large and complex real estate transactions as well as major development projects. The team is jointly overseen by Martin Støren and Ditlef Thaulow; Støren focuses on real estate development projects, transactions and disputes, while Thaulow is the key contact for international investors entering the Norwegian real estate market. The two work alongside Silje Sund, who oversees the development, and the ‘rock solid’ Anders Nitteberg Lie, who is head of transactions. Einar Caspersen takes point on transactional mandates while managing partner Camilla Kristiansen Lunne handles both transactions and complex development projects. For cross-border mandates, Christian Bjørn-Hansen is recommended for his ‘strong legal understanding with exceptional commercial acumen’. Also in the core team is the experienced Geir Sand and project development and infrastructure specialist Jarle W. Holstrøm.
