Praised as ‘good at client handling with a good business understanding’, the employment team at Advokatfirmaet Schjødt handles the full spectrum of employment matters, including major reorganisations and whistleblowing issues across sectors such as the energy and technology industries. Marie Hagberg, who is an expert in the transfer of undertakings and company reorganisations, leads the team; fellow reorganisation expert Martin Jetlund also takes point on whistleblowing and restrictive covenants work. Other key names include Magnus Lütken, who specialises in restructuring and workforce reductions; Ingrid Cathrine Nielsen, who is a seasoned adviser on cross-border matters; and Andrea Rakvaag. Since joining the team in August 2024 from Advokatfirmaet Thommessen AS, Trine Vabø aptly advises on the full range of employment matters.
