With an ‘unwavering commitment to understanding client needs and providing tailored solutions’, Gorrissen Federspiel‘s Greenland desk acts for a varied roster of Greenlandic and international clients on mandates in the Greenlandic energy, infrastructure, transport and fishing industries. The firm also leverages its cooperation agreement with local firm Arctic Law Greenland ApS, which combines the firm’s corporate expertise with on-the-ground resources. Michael Meyer leads the desk from Aarhus and is praised as ’a strong business partner with the ability to see potential and relevant opportunities‘; he is particularly active in corporate matters and also heads up the firm’s energy and infrastructure group. Banking and finance specialist Thomas Maaberg Hansen, shipping expert Peter Appel and litigator Jacob Skude Rasmussen also contribute to the practice from the firm’s base in Copenhagen.
