The Norwegian Bar Association’s law committees are appointed by the association’s executive board. The committees consist of members with particular expertise within the selected field. The committees follow legislation developments closely and advise within their special field of expertise. With a focus on the rule of law and quality in legislation the Bar Association’s law committees deliver around 80 statements every year.

She is associated with Simonsen Vogt Wiig’s Dispute Resolution team, and has extensive expertise within the insurance industry as a lawyer in Gjensidige Forsikring among others.
