Norway

Norway is globally recognised for its stable economy, commitment to sustainability, and leadership in renewable energy –particularly in hydropower and offshore wind. The country also maintains a strong presence in the oil and gas sector, advanced infrastructure developments, and innovative pharmaceutical and technology industries. With a transparent legal system and stable political environment, Norway presents unique opportunities for international investment and cross-border business operations.

At Alexander & Partner, we offer tailored legal counsel grounded in a deep understanding of the Norwegian market, combining international expertise with extensive knowledge of local business culture and regulatory frameworks.
