Expertise

Industry and manufacturing

Norwegian industrial and manufacturing companies operate in a global market characterised by rapid technological development, strict regulatory requirements and intense international competition. Growth and competitiveness require legal solutions that are both commercially smart and practically feasible.

We have extensive experience assisting companies in the process, manufacturing, and supplier industries and offer advice throughout the business's life cycle—from establishment and operation to transactions and restructuring.

We assist with land use planning, site acquisition, regulatory permits, energy law, chemicals management and environmental law. We have specialised expertise in production, sales, distribution and purchasing agreements, as well as IT and technology agreements. We have extensive experience in corporate law issues, mergers and demergers, transfer pricing, tax advice, export control and compliance. We also offer advice on financing, including public support programmes and incentives.

Selmer's consultancy is commercial and solution-oriented. We offer interdisciplinary teams and adapt our expertise to the project and business needs. Since many of our clients operate in an international market, we often put together international teams to coordinate assistance with local expertise in different jurisdictions.

We assist throughout the entire process - from strategic assessments, contract negotiations and transaction assistance to regulatory clarifications and dispute resolution nationally and internationally.
