Oil and Energy

In accordance with our strategic investment in the oil and energy sector, we have since assembled a professional group wherein several of our lawyers have industrial and international experience, including experience from working with government agencies. Brækhus, therefore, has in recent years had a significant increase of assignments within the oil and energy sector. We are retained by Norwegian and foreign oil, the supplier industry, and power companies.

We assist with:

• Strategic tax, value-added tax, customs and excise tax counselling
• Tax audit, complaints, and litigation
• Norwegian labour law
• Relevant jurisdiction concerning international working conditions (tax, VAT, insurance, labour law)
• Counselling related to contractual issues
• Identifying the need for, and safeguarding of, IP rights
• Export control

Additionally, we provide statutory reporting services for our foreign clients. Brækhus provides such clients with both strategic consulting and reporting (including VAT registration, different VAT and tax messages, and payroll).
