Competition law
Following the adoption of Norway’s first Competition Act in 1993 and the subsequent entry into force of the EEA Agreement, competition law has become increasingly important for companies doing business in Norway.
Ræder have accepted the consequences of this and have built up a strong team, with broad experience in all areas of competition law. Our lawyers have i.a. experience from the Norwegian Competition Authority, the Ministry of Government Administration and Reform (appellate body to the Competition Authority) and the EU's Directorate General for Competition.
