We assist clients at all stages of a dispute, from the initial assessment of claims, risks and available options to negotiations, court proceedings and enforcement. Where immediate action is required, our work may also include interim measures to secure assets or protect the client’s position.
A particular strength of our disputes practice is our first-hand experience of how finance law, financial products and commercial considerations interact. This is valuable not only when assessing a dispute and developing the initial strategy, but throughout negotiations and court proceedings.
Disputes often develop as new evidence emerges, arguments shift and legal or factual issues arise during the proceedings. In financial-sector cases, the ability to understand and respond to these developments in the context of the underlying law, the relevant products and the commercial realities can be decisive.
This combination of legal, product and commercial insight gives LexOslo a distinctive position in financial-sector disputes. It also informs our approach to contractual, corporate and other commercial disputes, where careful analysis, practical judgement and an understanding of the client’s objectives are equally important.
Where appropriate, we seek to resolve disputes through dialogue, negotiation or settlement. We do not shy away from litigation when the circumstances demand it. However, we do not measure success by the number of cases taken to court, but by whether the chosen course of action serves the client’s legal and commercial interests.
