Norwegian term or phrase: særlig uavhengig
I am unsure as how to best translate this into English as it appears in the following. Thanks for your help!

Arbeidstakeren har en ledende/særlig uavhengig stilling, og arbeidsmiljølovens arbeidstidsbestemmelser kommer derfor ikke til anvendelse, jf. aml. § 10-12.
