The firm operates six physical offices across the Oslo/Akershus region — Skjetten (HQ), Bekkestua, Jessheim, Oslo (Solli Plass), Råholt, and Bjørkelangen — providing legal services to private individuals, small and medium enterprises, banks, organizations, municipalities, and public institutions.

The firm's service offering spans multiple civil law practice areas, including employment law, family law, real estate and construction law, immigration law, bankruptcy and restructuring, contract law, IT/telecom law, corporate law, public procurement, intellectual property, and consumer rights. As the Norwegian member of the International Lawyers Network (ILN), the firm can refer cross-border matters to vetted international law firms. Notable institutional mandates include court-appointed permanent bankruptcy trustee and estate administrator roles for Romerike and Glåmdal tingrett from 2025. The firm provides services in Norwegian and English.

Advokatfirmaet Nicolaisen generates revenue through professional services fees billed on a quote-based arrangement, with no publicly disclosed pricing. It employs a sales-led go-to-market motion via direct client engagement at its offices, supplemented by content marketing (website blog, social media on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) and educational seminars on topics such as CSRD reporting and public procurement. The firm has no proprietary technology platform and no disclosed AI capabilities — it operates as a traditional professional services practice. Recent strategic activity includes a partnership with Innovasjon Gardermoen (January 2026), an LSK (Lillestrøm Sportsklubb) jersey sponsorship, Jessheim office relocation, and active recruitment of new attorneys.
