Sarah Haugvad Andresen

Sarah Haugvad Andresen is a part of Arntzen de Besche’s dispute resolution and insurance team. She works with dispute resolution, insurance, and compliance (ESG). Her broad expertise in these areas makes her well suited to assist on complex and interdisciplinary projects.

Sarah assists both Norwegian and international clients with various forms of dispute resolution. She has been involved in several extensive and complex disputes in the fields of insurance law, contract law, corporate law, tort law, and post-M&A disputes. Within insurance, she provides support in assessing coverage issues and handling disputes related to directors’ and officers’ liability insurance (D&O), warranty & indemnity insurance (W&I), crime insurance, and project insurance (Contractors All Risk).

Sarah also has in-depth knowledge of ESG-related regulations, including the Norwegian Transparency Act (Åpenhetsloven), the EU taxonomy, SFDR, CSRD, EUDR, packaging requirements, as well as regulations on greenwashing and anti-corruption. This is a rapidly developing area, and Sarah continuously expands her expertise, enabling our compliance team to stay ahead in helping our clients adapt to new EU requirements in this field. She has extensive experience with both internal and external risk management, as well as participating in major investigations related to financial regulatory legislation and competition law.

Sarah quickly and thoroughly immerses herself in the cases she works on, and places great importance on an open, trusting, and constructive dialogue with both colleagues and clients.
