Last Friday, the firm celebrated Auður Tinna Aðalbjarnardóttir, attorney and project manager for litigation, having been granted the right to practice before the Icelandic Court of Appeal (Landsréttur) on October 22nd. Auður is the first lawyer at the firm to reach that level.
To become an Appellate Court Attorney in Iceland, one must first represent litigants in a certain number of oral cases at the Icelandic District Courts, followed by demonstrating one’s fitness for such license by a test comprising the oral presentation of four cases before the Court of Appeal. Auður’s four test cases revolved around real estate defects, the division of a deceased person’s estate, spousal real estate transactions, and a deprivation of custody. She received good remarks for her presentations.
The firm congratulates Auður on this important milestone – which will aid the firm’s litigation efforts, at a higher level of court.
