Hjort (legally Advokatfirmaet Hjort DA, originally Harald Nørregaard, later Nørregaard & Bonnevie and Nørregaard & Hjort) is a law firm in Norway, headquartered in Oslo. It was founded in 1893 by Harald Nørregaard (1864–1938), a supreme court advocate who was also chairman of the Norwegian Bar Association and Edvard Munch's close friend, adviser and lawyer. In his lifetime, Nørregaard was one of Norway's preeminent lawyers. He was "known for his eloquence in court. It was said of him that he dominated the courtroom with his very presence, and his warm voice settled around the High Court as velvet."

In 1932 the young lawyer Johan Bernhard Hjort joined Nørregaard's law firm, and after World War II the firm was continued by Hjort and renamed ''Advokatfirmaet Hjort''. Ivo de Figueiredo: ''Fri mann.

Edvard Munch
Edvard Munch ( , ; 12 December 1863 – 23 January 1944) was a Norwegian painter. His best known work, ''The Scream'' (1893), has become one of Western art's most iconic images. His childhood was overshadowed by illness, bereavement and the dread of inheriting a mental condition that ran in the family. Studying at the Royal School of Art and Design in Kristiania (today's Oslo), Munch began to live a bohemian life under the influence of the nihilist Hans Jæger, who urged him to paint his own emotional and psychological state (' soul painting'). From this emerged his distinctive style. Travel brought new influences and outlets.
