Indigenous People and International Law

Matters relating to Indigenous rights and international law often concern fundamental rights and complex questions involving the interaction between national and international legal frameworks. Such matters can have significant implications for individuals, businesses, public authorities and society as a whole, and require legal analysis with both breadth and depth.

We advise public and private-sector entities, organisations and individuals on matters relating to Sámi rights, consultation processes, land and resource management, human rights and international conventions. Our lawyers also have experience with issues concerning the relationship between Norwegian law and international law, administrative law matters and dispute resolution.

We have particular insight into the legal and societal context of cases arising in Northern Norway. Our advice is based on thorough legal analysis, a strong understanding of legal processes and respect for the different interests involved in each matter.

We provide our clients with legal advice and representation that create certainty, predictability and a solid foundation for sound decision-making.
