There are no tariffs or fixed rates rendered for the completion of private assignments. The hourly rate is determined by the appointed lawyer’s experience and specialist field. The amount of time spent working on the assignment lays the foundation for the fee. Other factors which are used to calculate legal fees are the extent and level of difficulty, the economic interests involved, how efficient the work is organised and the result of the proceedings.

Our hourly rates (guiding price) ex. VAT for legal services for companies are:

• From 2,400,- to 3,000,- for work executed by partners
• From 1,800,- to 2,500,- for work executed by counsels in charge
• From 1,500,- to 2,000,- for work executed by lawyers
• From 1,300,- to 1,600,- for work executed by associates

All rates are in Norwegian kroners (NOK).

We emphasise that, despite of having been given an estimate for completion at the beginning of an assignment, an increase of the estimated fee can occur if the assignment alters. The fee will also increase if an assignment leads to court proceedings.

Disbursements, for example government fees, will be added.

For further information on hourly rates and calculations of fees we advise you to contact the relevant lawyer.
