Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- I have mostly worked with Ketil Sellæg Ramberg. He is sound, gives sophisticated legal advice, has a very strong work ethic, handles complex issues while staying calm, all in all a lawyer that you want to have by your side - not against you! I'll recommend him and his services whenever I get asked.
- We have handled some complex issues this year, and I am very satisfied with how DLA Piper Norway has quickly understood the questions and complexities and helped us navigate these issues. Our view is that the most complex issues handle both law and also need an understanding of the consequences for our business. DLA understands both aspects. DLA Piper Norway AS has assisted with agreements, competition law matters towards the Norwegian competition authority (NCA), and the sale of a Norwegian daughter company. DLA Piper has acted as lead counsel in all matters and across the Nordics. Matter sizes have been substantial. Professional, knowledgeable in all matters, easy to discuss and cooperate with. Strategic and creative in their solutions. In comparison with other law firms, they stand out.
