Alf Amund GulsvikCMS Kluge

Praised for its ‘unmatched expertise in procurement law’, the team at CMS Kluge is routinely instructed by contracting authorities and suppliers to advise on all phases of public procurement processes. Alf Amund Gulsvik and Stian Hultin Oddbjørnsen jointly lead the team; Gulsvik advises government departments and agencies on contracting issues and contentious procurement matters, while Oddbjørnsen attracts praise for his ‘substantial’ IT procurement expertise, a core pillar of work for the team. Anne Buan, who is ‘a star in everything she does’, is another key individual here. Managing partner Bjørnar Alterskjær has a broad practice that spans public procurement and state aid issues, acting for governmental entities and national businesses.
