Energy and Infrastructure
The energy and infrastructure sector is undergoing rapid transformation, with new technologies, increased investment in renewable energy and complex regulatory frameworks creating both opportunities and challenges. We provide specialised advice to public and private energy and utility companies, institutional investors, infrastructure funds, banks and financial institutions, as well as industrial actors – both in Denmark and internationally. Our team offers comprehensive legal expertise across all phases of energy and infrastructure projects, from initial investment decisions to project implementation and potential dispute resolution.
We play a central role in some of Denmark's largest and most prominent infrastructure projects, including traditional projects such as roads, bridges and hospitals, as well as structuring, construction and investments in renewable energy projects such as onshore and offshore wind farms, solar installations (PV), CCUS, Power-to-X and biogas projects.
Areas we advise on
- Construction law – contract negotiation, planning, risk management and ensuring projects are delivered on time and within budget
- Energy investments – advising institutional investors and infrastructure funds on investments in wind farms, solar projects and other renewable energy projects
- Project finance – structuring deals, securing capital through debt, equity and hybrid models, as well as issuing green bonds
- Infrastructure and energy-related financing – advising lenders on structuring and negotiating project finance agreements with particular focus on robust security packages
- Dispute resolution – litigation and mediation services for resolving contractual disputes, regulatory challenges and public law matters
- Real estate law – navigating local plans, environmental requirements and public-private partnerships
- Competition law – merger notifications, competition law compliance and regulatory approvals
- Employment law – ensuring legality, efficiency and productivity throughout project implementation
Our litigators have built up extensive theoretical and practical knowledge in the energy and infrastructure sector over many years. We represent clients in negotiations with regulatory authorities, in arbitration proceedings and in cases before the Danish courts. Our in-depth knowledge of the regulatory frameworks and key actors in each sector enables us to anticipate challenges and identify solutions.
We have deep insight into the evolving legislative frameworks and the business models of the parties involved. This knowledge makes us a valuable partner when it comes to facilitating partnerships between investors and operators and ensuring that projects are realised with the necessary legal clarity and commercial understanding.
