The firm’s wide experience from offshore and onshore construction projects is utilized when providing advice in projects involving building of production facilities.

Kvale’s work for the energy industry, within petroleum (oil and gas) and power production (hydropower and solar electricity) has given the firm the necessary basis for providing advice within all areas of energy production – including sales and transportation agreements.

Kvale’s Way of Working

When Kvale is given an assignment, the firm evaluates, in close cooperation with the client, the challenges of the case. Kvale sets up a team with dedicated lawyers, covering all the relevant legal areas involved, but the firm is also cautious that resources are only drawn upon when needed. Kvale is recognized as being highly cost efficient and still able to handle the most comprehensive matters within the set deadline. The firm is dedicated to top service and high quality, and this has resulted in top rankings within several areas by leading rating bureaus.
