We are looking for a lawyer with experience with compliance to complement our Compliance & Risk Management team. Most of our work has a global dimension and it is not a requirement that you studied Norwegian law.
BAHR
As one of the most international law firms in Norway, BAHR has been successfully advising leading Norwegian and global clients since 1966. Today BAHR’s practice covers all the key commercial disciplines, with a particular focus on domestic and international transactions, commercial law advice and dispute resolutions. The firm is consistently ranked as a “tier one” firm in Norway.
In order to enhance our understanding of business sectors and commercial relationships, and assist in sharing expertise and information, BAHR’s lawyers are arranged into industry groups, as well as practice groups. The groups contain expertise from across the firm, spanning the full spectrum of client needs from transactional assistance to tax, commercial advice to finance, IP to dispute resolution. BAHR is not a member of any international alliance, but benefits from a well-developed, non-exclusive network with leading law firms in many jurisdictions in Europe, the US and the Middle and Far-East.
