Fisheries and Aquaculture

The fisheries and aquaculture industry is one of Norway’s most important export industries and a major contributor to value creation along the Norwegian coast. The industry operates within an extensive and constantly evolving regulatory framework, where sound legal advice is essential to operations, investment and further development.

Our lawyers are ranked among Norway’s leading fisheries lawyers by Chambers and in Finansavisen’s annual rankings of Norwegian lawyers.

We advise clients across the seafood industry on a wide range of legal matters, including licences and permits, dealings with public authorities, contracts, business transfers, corporate law, administrative law and dispute resolution – from day-to-day operations to major development and investment projects.

We regularly represent clients in fisheries-related cases before the courts and are among the Norwegian law firms that have handled the highest number of fisheries cases before the Supreme Court.

Based in Northern Norway, we have first-hand knowledge of the legal and commercial challenges facing the industry. We focus on providing practical advice, ensuring predictable processes and finding solutions that safeguard our clients’ interests while meeting the regulatory requirements governing the industry.

We aim to be a long-term legal partner to the seafood industry, combining local knowledge and industry expertise with legal advice that supports secure operations, sustainable development and long-term value creation.
