Work Department

Construction, Public Procurement

Position

Partner. Gresseth has extensive experience of complex procurement processes and major commercial fabrication contracts in both the public and private sectors. It is in the combination of these two legal fields that his specialist expertise lies.

He has extensive experience of public procurement processes, ICT contracts and major construction projects. In additional to specialist expertise in traditional procurement forms and construction contract models, he has in recent years built up a unique competence with respect to innovative procurement processes and construction contract models. This applies particularly to partnering contracts and integrated project delivery (IPD) contracts. In fact, Gresseth led the AdeB team that drew up the first three IPD contracts in Norway: the Tønsberg Project , Nye Veier AS and the new psychiatric unit at St. Olav’s Hospital in Trondheim.

Gresseth has led several major projects that have been both time-critical and complex, and he has ensured that the team executes the assignments on schedule and to a high professional standard. Clients highlight his specialist expertise in the field of construction law and procurement law, and the fact that he sees parallels between different legal areas, which enables him to exploit synergies to provide consistent and precise advice. They also emphasise his clear communication, decisiveness, and ability to work as part of a team.
