Advokatfirmaet Suleiman & Co.

What Advokatfirmaet Suleiman & Co. does

Advokatfirmaet Suleiman & Co AS is a privately held Norwegian law firm founded in 2015 and headquartered at C. J. Hambros plass 2 D, Oslo. The firm delivers legal services across 25+ practice areas including asylum and immigration, labor, family and inheritance, child welfare, criminal defense, social security, victim compensation, insurance, contract, corporate and business, property, bankruptcy, health, tax, discrimination, litigation, international humanitarian law, and human rights. Its core technology stack is non-proprietary; service delivery is built on lawyer expertise and case management rather than software platforms.

The firm serves a fragmented mix of private individuals, businesses and corporations, and Norwegian-Pakistani and international clients with cross-border matters between Norway and Pakistan. A multilingual team spanning Norwegian, English, Urdu, Punjabi, Persian (Farsi), Turkish, Kurdish, Russian, Polish, Spanish, and additional languages enables native-language client service, supported by professional interpreters when needed. A strategic partnership with Rao & Virk in Pakistan extends service reach into Pakistani legal matters for diaspora clients.

Revenue is generated primarily through hourly legal billing (NOK 1,315 to NOK 9,440 including VAT per hour), supplemented by fixed-price engagements and government-funded legal aid (fri rettshjelp) for qualifying low-income clients and publicly funded criminal-defense appointments. GTM is sales-led via a free initial consultation offered through the firm's website (scolaw.no), phone, email, and contact forms, with content marketing (blog, SEO) and Facebook presence supporting top-of-funnel demand. Nationwide Norwegian service is delivered from the single Oslo office via in-person appointments and remote consultations.
