Strongest Chambers Europe result in the firm's history

This year, an impressive 17 of our colleagues have climbed in the individual rankings, while eight lawyers are new on the list. On top of that, we have maintained our strong positions across all key practice areas – making this the strongest Chambers Europe result in the firm’s history. 

“This recognition is a testament to the outstanding work our colleagues deliver for clients every day. This result underlines our position as the leading law firm in Norway. We are grateful to all clients and partners who have taken the time to share their feedback with Chambers about their experience working with Wikborg Rein, the quality of our work and the collaborative team spirit we value", our MP Geir Sviggum says.  

The result surpasses last year’s record of 53 individual rankings. 

New in Band 1

We are very proud that our Information Technology practice has been promoted to Band 1, reflecting the team’s strong expertise and the high-quality work they deliver. We are also very happy that Gry Hvidsten is now (appropriately) ranked as a Tier 1 lawyer, recognising her significant contribution to the practice. In addition, the Technology practice has been able to get a 'Band 1' ranking in a very short time frame since the expansion of the team when Leif Eirik Thrane and Arne Byberg joined us only two years ago. In total – the technology practice has eight lawyers ranked – which is truly impressive! 

Our success is a testament to the dedication, skills, integrity and team spirit of the entire firm!
