Investment Protection & Fundamental Rights

Investment Protection & Fundamental Rights

One of BK’s specialties is investment protection under fundamental rights law. Our firm has specialist expertise in advising foreign investors in international investment cases against sovereign states before domestic courts and in arbitration proceedings.

Fundamental rights apply not only to individuals but also to business entities. Often overlooked, human rights provisions in UN, EU, and EEA law as well as the European Human Rights Convention provide a strong complement to rights based on domestic rules as they take precedence over diverging national legislation.

We assist clients in establishing claims based on fundamental rights and enforcing them at both domestic and international levels, including before the European Court of Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Council, the European Court of Justice, and the EFTA Court.

Navigating the sports and entertainment world can be challenging. We are by our clients’ side every step of the way to help develop solutions tailored to individual needs—be they for individual athletes, clubs, or sports organisations.

Social & Social Security Law

Having a highly developed social and social security system is a feature of every modern community. State agencies are unfortunately quick to deprive beneficiaries of their legitimate claims. We have broad experience in enforcing claims against the state and representing individual and groups of clients before national courts, the European Court of Human Rights, the UN Human Rights Council, the European Court of Justice, and the EFTA Court. We are currently representing the victims of the social welfare benefit “NAV-Scandal”, the biggest legal scandal in Norway since the Second World War.

Environmental & Anti-Pollution Law

All life began in the sea. Protecting land, sea, and air from pollution, contamination, and unsustainable exploitation, as well as safeguarding indigenous habitats, requires in-depth knowledge of environmental and human rights law at national and international levels.

We assist companies in developing risk management strategies and compliance programmes and individuals in enforcing their rights against unlawful acts. Our team has extensive experience litigating against governments and private companies in administrative, civil, and criminal proceedings. We also help clients to understand and enforce environmental and human rights, and to navigate and impact regulatory and policy decisions.
