Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

• ‘CMS Kluge stands out for its speed, structured approach, and ability to turn complex issues—especially AI and our conflict-of-interest matters into clear, actionable solutions. Clients value their concise, outcome-driven advice, strong partner involvement, and practical innovation in areas like AI governance and collaboration, which sets them apart from firms that deliver lengthy theoretical analyses.’
• ‘The IP team at CMS Kluge stands out for its combination of technical excellence and commercial awareness. The lawyers are pragmatic and responsive. The practice covers the full range of IP matters. However, I have mostly worked with CMS Kluge on trademark matters, where they consistently deliver advice that is both sophisticated and practical. From my interactions, it is clear that the CMS Kluge IP team shares this same culture of professionalism, collaboration, and accessibility. The practice combines top-tier legal expertise with a distinctly practical approach, making their advice both sophisticated and actionable. The team’s integration of technology and their openness to flexible, client-adapted solutions also set them apart in the Norwegian market.’
• ‘Thomas Rieber-Mohn brings an impressive combination of sharp legal instinct and genuine commercial understanding to trademark law. He has a calm, confident way of approaching complex questions and an ability to identify what truly matters for the client’s position. Thomas is also remarkably responsive and collaborative. In short, he is the kind of lawyer who makes even demanding projects feel structured and manageable.’
• ‘CMS Kluge stands out as a top-tier intellectual property rights (IPR) practice in Norway by combining deep legal expertise with a pragmatic, agile approach.

Their ability to translate complex IPR challenges into practical solutions sets them apart in a fast-changing legal and business landscape.’
