New record for Bull in The Legal 500 for 2025

Eight practice areas ranked

The international ranking agency The Legal 500 has published its evaluation of the Norwegian legal market in 2025. Eight of Bull’s practice areas ranked, and they are:

• Commercial, corporate and M&A
• Construction
• Employment
• Insurance
• Insolvency and corporate recovery (new)
• Intellectual property
• Tax
• TMT (Technology, Media and Telecom)

"After being ranked by Chambers and Partners for the past three years, we are now also proud to be ranked by The Legal 500, where we have moved straight into Tier 3. Mira Levánd Bergsland's transfer from Wikborg Rein to Bull has without a doubt strengthened the team's reputation in the market, both in Norway and internationally. We are also seeing a steady increase in the number of restructuring projects, important litigation assignments and the handling of major bankruptcy estates" - says Kristoffer Aasebø, head of the Insolvency and corporate recovery practice group.

Another peak for recommended lawyers

The good news also applies to Bull's lawyers individually, first and foremost that Hanna Beyer Olaussen is ranked in two categories: Intellectual property and TMT. Otherwise, The Legal 500 operates mainly with recommendations, and as many as 31 of Bull's lawyers are on the list. This is a new high for the number of recommended Bull lawyers, and in addition to Hanna, four of them are recommended in two practice areas.

"We have worked to build increasingly robust professional environments in recent years, and these rankings prove that we are succeeding. This provides inspiration to continue to develop both our services and our employees" - says Tine Wærsten, CEO in Bull.
