Jane's interest in law started with human rights and women's rights. After pursuing law academically, Jane decided to tread the path of commercial law. She studied in the UK in the 1980’s before moving to Norway and re-training as a Norwegian attorney. She has worked in both public service and private practice, the last 16 years exclusively with commercial law. As a successful female attorney and partner, she enoys seeing her younger colleagues succeed under her guidance. Jane is most proud of building her strong legal department at Ernst and Young.
