Experience
Extensive experience in corporate law, international taxation, VAT and regulatory compliance, with a particular focus on advising international companies operating or establishing a presence in Iceland.
Our approach
International companies often face a wide range of Icelandic registration, tax, employment and regulatory requirements when starting activities in Iceland.
Rather than requiring clients to coordinate several different advisors and authorities themselves, we provide a single point of contact for their Icelandic market-entry and compliance requirements.
We combine legal, tax and practical regulatory knowledge to provide clear, commercially focused advice and hands-on support.
