Top Rankings for Wiersholm in This Year’s Law Firm Survey

Wiersholm has once again been recognised as one of Norway’s leading law firms, securing a strong second place – just behind Thommessen – in Kapital’s annual law firm survey.

Wiersholm also tops the list of individual lawyers with the highest overall scores in this year’s survey, with Morten Goller (1st place), Rune Opdahl (2nd place) and Jon Rabben (9th place).

In addition, we achieved a significant number of podium placements across practice areas, with a total of 11 first-place rankings, 12 second-place rankings and 8 third-place rankings.

We are particularly proud to see Wiersholm well represented by promising talent in the “Up and Coming” category, where several of our lawyers are ranked among the leading practitioners in their respective fields. This highlights both the breadth of our expertise and the strong professional development across the firm.

The survey is based on votes from industry peers and ranks Norway’s leading lawyers and law firms across a wide range of practice areas.

This year’s results confirm Wiersholm’s position as one of Norway’s premier business law firms. We are represented across numerous categories, with several of our lawyers achieving top rankings within their respective areas of expertise.

– It is very gratifying to see that we once again deliver strong results in the law firm survey, both in the individual and firm rankings. Many of our lawyers are recognised, and we are acknowledged as leading within several of our key practice areas. The results confirm our position as one of Norway’s foremost business law firms and represent a meaningful recognition from our industry peers. A sincere thank you to our entire team, who work every day with dedication and focus to solve complex, demanding and exciting assignments for our clients, says Managing Partner Stephan L. Jervell.
