International Trade, Regulatory and Government Affairs

Our trade practice advises on all aspects of international trade law, including export controls, trade embargoes, financial sanctions, customs procedures, and international trade agreements.

For companies operating internationally, complying with numerous laws, regulations, and administrative rules is essential — many of which directly impact their operations and opportunities for growth. The regulatory landscape is constantly changing as a result of political agendas, global events, policy shifts, and public opinion, making international trade both complex and challenging.

We regularly assist large Norwegian and international corporations with global trade compliance, regulatory risk management, and identifying "red flags" in sensitive commercial transactions. Our team has detailed knowledge of trade compliance regimes worldwide and extensive experience in handling complex transactions and sensitive investigations. We help clients manage financial, civil, criminal, and reputational risks at all corporate levels.

Our team is always up to date on the latest developments and practices, both nationally and internationally. We have in-depth expertise regarding the EEA Agreement, and several team members have backgrounds from EFTA institutions.
