Our pro bono projects

We are the exclusive legal partner of Feminvest, a leading network for female entrepreneurs and investors. 

Feminvest aims to increase female ownership and, in turn, promote a more equal distribution of wealth and capital between women and men.

Selmer participates in Feminvest's networking events and provides legal education on key topics relevant to entrepreneurship.

Selmer assisted in founding Fontenehuset Oslo Sentrum in the 1990's and has been a committed partner ever since. Fontenehuset is a unique working partnership for people with mental health issues that inspires, supports and motivates members to participate in the local community, education and employment market.

We share Fontenehuset's opinion that everyone needs to be seen, heard, feel useful, belong to a community and master certain tasks. As part of our collaboration with Fontenehuset Oslo we provide a 40 per cent, six- to nine-month paid placement to help one of Fontenehuset’s members. We have also entered into a long-term partnership with Fontenehuset to provide pro bono advice.

Selmer is proud to be a pro bono partner to the Norwegian Trekking Association (DNT). Through this collaboration, DNT benefits from expert legal advice in areas such as property management and organisational development, enabling them to focus more on making outdoor adventures and nature experiences accessible to everyone.

DNT is Norway’s largest hiking and outdoor activity organisation, with more than 320,000 members. Providing waymarked trails, over 600 cabins and lodges, and services that cater to everyone, DNT promotes inclusion, public health, and the sustainable use of nature.

We support various groups and initiatives.

We undertake smaller assignments on pro bono terms that are handled by our associates, but also larger assignments that are of fundamental importance from a human rights, climate and environmental perspective.

We partner with environmental and human rights organisations and participate in various legal aid schemes. We also prepare ongoing case assessments for individuals and organisations.
