The team advises companies, investors, and private clients across complex commercial matters and high-stakes disputes. Clients value its partner-led attention, clear recommendations, and efficient delivery that keeps matters on time and on budget. The firm operates with certified quality routines and is part of a respected international network, enabling coordinated support for cross-border needs.

NOVA’s lawyers handle mandates across real estate and construction, insolvency and restructuring, technology and life sciences, intellectual property, and dispute resolution. The firm regularly guides clients through development projects, procurement processes, commercial contracts, and corporate transactions, and represents them in negotiations, mediation, arbitration, and court proceedings.

Client service at NOVA is built on accessibility, proactive case management, and practical communication. Matters are staffed leanly and led by senior lawyers to ensure accountability and cost control, with regular status updates and clear next-step plans. In 2025 NOVA joined forces with Advokatfirmaet Forsberg AS to broaden its bench and resources while continuing to deliver hands-on, results-focused counsel from its Oslo base.
