Wiersholm strengthens its focus on the seafood industry with new recruitments<\/h1>\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Erik Staurset Andresen joins Wiersholm as partner and Sigrid Ratvik \u00d8stvik as senior associate. Both will join the firm’s seafood team and start on July 1, 2024. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe seafood industry is one of Norway\u2019s most important and fastest growing industries, and we strongly believe that the industry will continue to grow and develop in the coming years. The seafood industry is a strategically important focus area for Wiersholm. With the recruitment of Erik and Sigrid, who both have important specialist expertise and extensive experience from the industry, we now have a complete seafood team that can assist clients with all issues in the industry,\u201d says Svein-Helge Hanken, partner at Wiersholm and head of the firm\u2019s seafood team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the foremost experts in aquaculture law<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erik has extensive experience from all aspects of fisheries and aquaculture law, both as a lawyer in the Norwegian Directorate of Fisheries and later as a lawyer and advisor to the industry. His experience includes, among other things, contractual and regulatory issues for both land-based aquaculture, fjord-based aquaculture and exposed offshore aquaculture. He also assists companies in the fisheries sector. Staurset Andresen is considered one of the foremost experts and advisors in Norway in his field. He is a member of the Norwegian Bar Association\u2019s expert committee on fisheries and aquaculture law and has been named one of Norway\u2019s best lawyers in fisheries and aquaculture by the Norwegian Financial Daily lawyer survey and several international ranking agencies for legal services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWiersholm\u2019s focus on the seafood industry is forward-looking, with an increased presence in one of the seafood industry\u2019s most important cities. With so many talented and friendly colleagues, I really look forward to getting started,\u201d says Erik S. Andresen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Erik comes from Volda in M\u00f8re og Romsdal, and will be based in Wiersholm\u2019s Trondheim office, but will work for seafood clients throughout Norway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the greatest talents in aquaculture law <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigrid grew up in the fisheries and aquaculture industry in Fr\u00f8ya and Trondheim, and now has extensive experience both as an associate and senior associate in regulatory and contractual matters, and from the quality department of the second largest salmon farmer in the world, Salmar ASA. In 2021, she completed her master\u2019s degree in law at the University of Oslo, where she specialised in aquaculture law and wrote her master\u2019s thesis on the regulation of biosecurity cooperation in the aquaculture industry. Sigrid is a regular columnist for IntraFish, the world\u2019s leading news source for seafood and aquaculture, and has been named one of Norway\u2019s promising talents in several acknowledged rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sigrid will be affiliated with Wiersholm\u2019s offices in both Oslo and Trondheim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI am very much looking forward to becoming part of Wiersholm\u2019s seafood initiative and contributing to its further development together with committed and positive colleagues. Not least, I have great faith in the establishment of the office in Tr\u00f8ndelag and the proximity it provides to the activity that takes place along the coast\u201d, says Sigrid R. \u00d8stvik.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
