Berghco Business
Business is one of our business areas where we have expertise in all business areas of business law – but we have chosen to specialize specifically in transactions, disputes and outsourced law.
Transactions of companies and real estate
Transactions are an important part of economic development in society – companies, properties and operations are sold, bought, listed on the stock exchange, financed, shared and merged. A transaction is a process with a beginning and an end. Like all processes, the transaction can go more or less easily and give more or less the result you intended. In a transaction, you must have control over various issues – tax, environment, stock exchange issues, competition issues, etc. You must also have good project management that provides a cost-effective process where different people collaborate – for example management, accountants, tax specialists. We gladly take the responsibility to lead the process.

Outsourced law for companies and organizations
Berghco is today responsible for the legal issues for many companies – from smaller companies to billion-dollar groups.
We want to take responsibility for the company’s legal problems both in everyday life and in major issues such as transactions and disputes.
We believe that all companies should have a legal quality level – ie a minimum level of good agreements and instructions for the business.
Some examples:
- Purchasing and sales agreements must contain good specifications of what is to be delivered and protective provisions for termination and damages. The correct standard agreement must also be attached.
- The consultant and employment contract must contain the correct provisions on intellectual property rights and competition.
- The company must have policies against corruption and competition offenses as well as a whistleblower system.
