Over the years, Thommessen has assisted banks, financial institutions and other players in the financial sector in a number of high-value disputes.
Our solicitors have in-depth knowledge of all key types of agreements in the banking and finance sector, such as various types of loan agreements, guarantees, security arrangements, client agreements, mandate agreements, etc., and the regulatory framework. Many of the cases concern breach of contract and its consequences, including foreclosure. Such cases are often complex, and our lawyers specialise in presenting the case in a precise and clear manner for both clients and the courts.
In disputes arising from the banking and finance sector, Thommessens’ litigation lawyers work closely with our banking and finance department, which is Norway’s largest and most renowned in its field. This ensures a vital exchange of expertise and breadth within the team, which in turn increases the likelihood of a positive outcome for our clients.
Our department has litigated a number of cases before both courts and arbitration tribunals, including cases concerning financial agreements, professional liability for banks and advisers, as well as a wide range of cases involving claims for damages and repayment. We combine legal expertise with commercial insight and ensure that our clients’ interests are safeguarded through strategic advice and the management of the dispute, from the initial risk assessment right through to the final resolution.
