About us

At the turn of the 1990’s, the Iron Curtain fell and the Soviet Union collapsed. The world faced a new East. Every globally operating Nordic company had to re-evaluate its strategy.

At the turn of the 2020’s, it was the West that was shedding its skin.

We joined forces to make our collective experience in politics, trade, academia, law, diplomacy and the media available to the business leader in search for a sounding board and new tools to navigate the changing global marketplace.

The strength of Nordic West Office lies in its ability to provide a community, highly tailored services, and a vast global reach through the Nordic advisory group Miltton, the US-based global law firm Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe, Asian Trade Center and Oxford Analytica.
