INDEPENDENT

To be able to serve foreign clients properly in a small market like Iceland the key is to be INDEPENDENT, i.e. not to large in the domestic market and therefore avoiding conflict issues.

 

General Areas of Practice Include:


Litigation & Dispute Resolution

Litigation & Dispute resolution is the firm´s strong focus. We represent businesses on litigation, arbitration, regulatory and mediation matters.
