Norwegian Energy Partners offers a unique and exclusive legal advice service to its partners to seek legal advice - for one day- on anti-corruption issues. This is achieved through the cooperation agreement Norwegian Energy Partners has with Attorney at law Anders Venemyr, a specialist in anti- corruption issues, financial investigation, business integrity and ethical advisory.
In the global market place any company has to act in accordance with both international and country-specific laws and we have seen a number of cases in latter years (Telenor, Yara, Petrobras...) where companies run into major problems due to business practices that are not up to par.
Companies that do not take this seriously run the risk of jeopardizing their own business and could - in worst case - find themselves under criminal investigation.
Examples of relevant questions connected to the cases and examples in the Case studies (see menu).
Some examples of dilemmas and situations that can pose a threat to legal business practices, connected to the FAQ.
