- We would especially like to highlight lawyer Arne Engesæth, who, with his broad and extensive experience and impressive knowledge of construction law, is undoubtedly one of the leading figures and true pioneers in the construction and civil engineering industry. He has been a trailblazer for mediation in major construction projects, and his groundbreaking work has contributed greatly to value creation for all parties involved, saving countless parties from lengthy and burdensome legal disputes. Lawyer Arne Engesæth has been a central driving force in the development of the mediation field, and our company has found that his expertise and leadership have been absolutely crucial to achieving favorable, negotiated results. We can safely say that without Arne Engesæth, we would not have enjoyed the same success in our largest and most demanding construction disputes.
- DLA Piper law firm distinguishes itself with solid and long-standing experience, as well as unique in-depth knowledge in both contract law and construction. The firm boasts a number of experienced senior lawyers in construction law, who are truly among the most knowledgeable and recognized experts in the industry. DLA Piper is a large firm, with an impressive breadth and depth of expertise, from which our company has benefited. The lawyers at DLA Piper have provided invaluable assistance in mediation cases, and thanks to their extraordinary efforts and dedication, we have managed to resolve extremely complex construction disputes – cases that would likely have ended in protracted and resource-intensive court proceedings without their support.
