Gorrissen Federspiel utilises the full strength of the firm to provide a cross-practice Greenland desk, which assists Greenlandic and international clients with corporate and commercial mandates including corporate finance work, real estate issues and project-related matters. The group is notably active in Greenland’s main industries and has recently advised on high-profile projects across the energy, mining, infrastructure, shipping, transport and fishing sectors. The team also recently added further local law capacity through its alliance with Greenlandic firm, Arctic Law Greenland ApS, which came into effect in late 2022. Corporate expert Michael Meyer leads the group and is also head of the firm’s wider energy and infrastructure practice; other key individuals include shipping specialist Peter Appel; finance experts Morten Hans Jakobsen and Thomas Maaberg Hansen, who focus on finance work in the transport and infrastructure sectors respectively; and litigator Jacob Skude Rasmussen.

The Greenland desk at Horten provides clients with advice on the full spectrum of Greenlandic issues with notable expertise in key industries including the oil and gas, infrastructure and mining sectors. Key areas of recent activity include advising on inbound investments, corporate transactions and project mandates. The group also benefits from the firm’s association with leading domestic firm, Nuna Advokater. Energy sector experts Søren Hornbæk Svendsen and Klavs Gravesen, and corporate specialist Christian Tullberg are the key contacts.

Kromann Reumert’s Greenland desk is led by newly elected managing partner Christina Bruun Geertsen, who also leads the firm’s broader M&A practice and excels in capital markets mandates and commercial issues. Thomas Kaas is also an active member of the team and is the primary contact for financing and shipping matters, while litigator Erik Bertelsen and transactional specialist Mads Reinholdt Sørensen also contribute to the practice from the firm’s Aarhus base.

Plesner Advokatpartnerselskab’s cross-practice group leverages the firm’s extensive experience in handling construction and infrastructure projects to advise on major projects in Greenland; this expertise is particularly demonstrated through the group’s recent involvement in the construction and financing of three new international airports in Greenland. The group is also recognised for its mining expertise and counts Greenland Minerals and KoBold Metals as clients. Managing partner Niklas Korsgaard Christensen and Frants Dalgaard-Knudsen jointly lead the practice, specialising in energy and mining issues respectively. Jimmy Skjold Hansen is the key contact for contentious work and Esben Kjær focuses on corporate mandates in the energy, infrastructure and transport sectors.
