Christian Fredrik Michelet

I have more than 35 years experience within the oil, gas and offshore industry, where I have been working as both lawyer and oil company executive. I am advising oil companies and offshore service companies on both legal and strategic issues on a global basis. I have also been advisor to governments in oil and gas producing countries in Europe, Africa, Asia, South America and the Middle East.

My practice covers all aspects of the oil and gas industry, including contract and regulatory matters, M&A, gas transportation, gas sales and price revisions, construction projects, disputes and oil and gas operational matters. I have been involved in a large number of oil and gas transactions in Norway.

I have also acted as counsel in some of the major oil and gas litigations in Norway during the last decades. I am frequently acting as arbitrator in national and international arbitrations. The arbitrations cover most commercial matters, including the oil, gas and energy sectors, construction, shipping and insurance. I also act is mediator in such disputes.

For a number of years by Chambers I have been ranked as a “star individual” in oil and gas, by Legal 500 as a leading individual and by Finansavisen as the leading oil and gas lawyer in Norway for more than 20 years.

I can speak fluent French.
