ABOUT US
Tofte Hald is the largest law firm in Southern Norway, with 35 lawyers, four associates, and eight administrative employees, in addition to a managing director.
Our offices are in new and modern premises in Baneheia Park in Kristiansand and the city square in Arendal.
Tofte Hald is the result of the merger between Kristiansand-based law firm Tofte AS and Hald & Co DA in Arendal. Tofte Hald carries on the legacy and history of two of Southern Norway’s largest and most respected legal law firms.
Before the merger, Tofte was the largest law firm in Southern Norway, with 29 employees. The firm was formally established in 2009 after a merger between the law firms AdvokatRådhuset DA and Advokatfirma Tofte & Co DA. In 2021, the firm was converted into a limited liability company (AS).
Hald has roots dating back to World War II and has retained its name after Anders Hald, a partner in the firm from 1980 to 2012. Before the merger with Tofte, Hald had grown to 19 employees.
Tofte Hald provides legal assistance to a considerable number of public clients, large, medium-sized, and small businesses, as well as private clients.
At Advokatfirma Tofte Hald, we assist most industries in all areas of business law. Our lawyers also participate in negotiations and represent clients in a substantial number of cases before the courts. Several of our lawyers are admitted to the Norwegian Supreme Court.
Advokatfirma Tofte Hald is affiliated with the Eurojuris Norway network. Eurojuris Norway is one of the country’s largest networks of law firms, consisting of 17 independent law firms spread across the country. Through this affiliation, the firm has access to the expertise of all other offices when needed.
In addition to the national network, Eurojuris Norway is linked to Eurojuris International, constituting an international network of approximately 600 law firms, recruited among Europe’s leading law firms, with over 6,000 lawyers.
