Seminar: Introduction to selected legal topics for working immigrants in Norway

It is a challenge for working immigrants to read thick books about Norwegian law, but it is a very important subject that we shall all understand as it concerns us everyday: What kind of rights and obligations as employees in Norway are entitled? What social benefits in Norway? How we fill in our annual tax declaration -selvangivelsen? Shall I buy a house or rent? etc.

We are very glad that Schjødt AS, a top tier law firm in Norway, is going to have a seminar to our CPN members about Norwegian Law. Schjødt is an internationally oriented law firm with a strong market share in cross border work. More than half of its lawyers have legal education and/or work experience abroad. See more information about Schjødt AS at www.schjodt.com

Also, CPN has received support from Det Norske Veritas AS (DNV) this year. Hening Kristoffersen, will represent DNV to have a greeting in the seminar and give us a short update on China.
