Advokatfirmaet Haavind AS

With an increasing caseload on the resource rent tax, the fishing and aquaculture practice at Advokatfirmaet Haavind AS provides full-service advice, from commercial contracts and patent protection to disputes and transactions. Practice head Bjørn Sørgård is ‘both professionally skilled and good in human relations’ and has a proven track record of advising commercial entities and trade associations on regulatory and corporate matters. On the contentious front, Ida Espolin Johnson is a key name, with experience in public, commercial and corporate mandates. The team also includes Torbjørn Gjelsvik, an aquaculture expert, and Christopher Rønbeck who takes point on regulatory matters. In May 2024, the team also strengthened its fisheries and aquaculture financing offering with the hiring of Lene Kristin Hennø from Advokatfirmaet Schjødt.
