Insurance

Wiersholm is recognised as one of Norway’s leading law firms in the field of insurance. We provide assistance to anyone in need of advice, negotiations, or proceedings before the courts, regardless of their position in the insurance chain. Our expertise is built on years of solid experience and the specialised knowledge of our team, who, over time, have worked with most insurance law disciplines and industries, both in practical terms and academically.  

Wiersholm offers specialised, industry-specific advice to all participants in the insurance chain, including insurance companies, intermediaries, and customers. Our advice is comprehensive, taking into consideration all related disciplines such as data protection, anti-money laundering, and confidentiality. The practice group is led by Hans Kenneth Viga-Gerhardsen, an internationally recognised expert in insurance law and strategic advice, who frequently speaks at universities and external forums.

Our insurance team is one of the largest in Norway and has consistently been ranked at the top in international rankings. We are committed to providing solid professional advice and are experts in finding coherence in the various insurance regulations, including the developments in the EU. We regularly litigate matters before courts and arbitral tribunals, often involving both insurance and major liability issues. However, our primary focus is on finding the solutions that best suit our clients in every matter we handle.
