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, including various loan agreements, guarantees, security arrangements, client agreements, and mandate agreements, as well as the relevant regulatory framework. Many cases concern breach of contract and its consequences, including enforcement of security and foreclosure. Such cases are often complex, and our lawyers are experienced in presenting them in a precise and accessible manner for both clients and the courts.
In disputes arising from the banking and finance sector, Thommessen’s litigation lawyers work closely with our banking and finance department, which is Norway’s largest and most highly regarded in its field. This collaboration ensures a valuable exchange of expertise and breadth within the team, which in turn enhances the likelihood of a favorable outcome for our clients.
Our department has litigated a number of cases before both courts and arbitral 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.
