Employment and pensions

With new pensions laws recently introduced in Norway, and a constantly evolving employment law regime, you need up-to-date advice from lawyers you trust. Our experienced practitioners can provide a reliable and responsive service, getting to know your business and keeping you informed about relevant developments.

According to Chambers Europe, the employment and pensions team at BA-HR ‘is known for its business acumen and it provides “eminently practical advice” that is tailored to its clients: “The lawyers are great to work with because they recognise our business culture,” commented one satisfied client.’
