Defence and Security
In an era marked by rapidly geopolitical change and growing security challenges, the need for strong security measures and strict compliance systems is greater than ever before. At Wikborg Rein, we offer one of Norway’s foremost teams of specialised lawyers dedicated to serving clients in the defence and security industry.
Our lawyers are widely recognised by international ranking agencies such as Chambers and Partners, Legal 500, and IFLR 1000, reflecting our depth of knowledge and experience.
Our practice covers all key legal areas relevant to the defence sector, including regulatory compliance, procurement, export control, data protection, and sensitive cross-border matters. Many of our lawyers have backgrounds from government agencies and we have lawyers with all the required security clearances. This ensures that we maintain the highest standards for the protection of sensitive information, with robust internal protocols governing data privacy and security.
Given the inherently international nature of the defence industry, our firm’s strong global presence and extensive network mean we regularly assist on complex matters involving multiple jurisdictions. We leverage this expertise to help both Norwegian and international clients navigate regulatory frameworks and manage significant cross-border challenges.
At Wikborg Rein, we are committed to staying at the forefront of technological developments. Through close collaboration with leading technology partners, we implement innovative legal solutions that create real value for our clients. Our continuing focus on modernisation allows us to support our clients with the most current and effective legal support within the defence and security sector.
