Defence

BAHR’s defence practice is focused on serving major suppliers of equipment to the Norwegian defence sector. The Norwegian government typically elects Norwegian law in its major contracts for supplies. We advise suppliers in their bids, contract administration, and post-delivery discussions, and handle dispute-oriented cases for clients.

Our defence sector approach is strategic and nuanced, addressing the complex blend of politics, stringent regulations, and public interest. We solely act for suppliers and do not engage on the side of the Norwegian Ministry of Defence in these transactions. Our multidisciplinary defence practice combines deep expertise, skills, and experience to meet the unique demands of this industry, assisting both public and private entities.

Our expertise in the defence sector includes:

• Procurement processes
• Contracting
• Regulatory compliance
• Planning and construction follow-up
• Dispute resolution
• Joint ventures
• Employment
• Intellectual property
• Foreign investment restrictions and export controls

By drawing on specialized legal expertise from across our firm, we strive to ensure optimal outcomes for our clients in these sensitive and government-driven projects.
