HISTORY

Fulltingi Legal Services is a leading Icelandic law firm, providing a full range of legal services for individuals, corporations and institutions alike, both foreign and domestic.  The law firm traces its roots back to 1966 to the formation of Logvisi law firm, which in 2000 merged with Logsaga, to create Fulltingi. The law firm has from the formation of Logvisi emphasised on providing advice on company law, commercial law, governance of companies, financing and banking law, mergers and acquisitions, insolvency and bankruptcy law, shipping and fisheries, maritime law, aviation and litigation. The merger with Logsaga provided increased expertise with areas of labour law, administrative law, local government law, insurance law, family law and torts. In addition the law firm has a strong standing within the area of EU Law and competition and has represented clients before the EFTA Court and the ECHR.

Fulltingi Legal Services has been extensively relied upon during the ongoing financial crisis, with its lawyers advising various financial institutions, companies, local and foreign creditors and official authorities, including the FME. This involves advice on the new emergency legislation, foreign currency restrictions, financial restructuring, redundancies, composition with creditors, sale of assets and advice on insolvency and bankruptcy procedures applicable within the Icelandic jurisdiction.

Fulltingi Legal Services has a long history of serving international clients, as well as local clients abroad, pioneered by one of its early founders, attorney Jon Finnsson, who attended both Universität Hamburg and Johan-Wolfgang-Goethe- Universität in Frankfurt am Main. He counselled numerous foreign clients and all of the firm’s major local clients abroad, from 1966 until he retired in 2004. The law firm’s attorneys have maintained this tradition and a majority of them have obtained further education abroad. For the past near decade Fulltingi has combined the experience of its two predecessors to establish a trustworthy, modern and dynamic law firm capable of providing legal services for a broad range of clients.
