Legal insights

SAAF is one of Denmark's most experienced law firms within the energy and offshore sector. We advise both Danish and international players within offshore wind, geothermal, district heating, carbon capture and storage, oil and gas, and related maritime and infrastructure projects.

Since 2010, our lawyers have been involved in some of the largest energy and offshore transactions in Denmark and Europe - including the establishment of several of the continent's largest offshore wind farms. Our advice combines deep legal insight with technical and commercial understanding of the sector.


In-depth knowledge

We have in-depth knowledge of the complex regulations that characterize the industry, including the Renewable Energy Promotion Act, the Subsoil Act, the Offshore Safety Act and related EU law.

This enables us to guide developers, operators, investors, public authorities and suppliers from concept to operation.


Our advice covers, among other things:

Applying for permits, licenses and exemptions
Contact and negotiation with public authorities
Consultation response to new legislation and regulation
Strategic advice on the development and operation of energy plants

Close collaboration with stakeholders

We work closely with both state and municipal actors such as the Danish Energy Agency, Energinet, the European Commission, the Danish Environmental Protection Agency, the Danish Maritime Authority and the Danish Working Environment Authority. In addition, we often help establish contact between clients and relevant authorities, industry organizations and other stakeholders.

Our clients range from leading energy companies and infrastructure owners to technology providers and construction companies, and we advise with the same dedication and professionalism regardless of the size of the assignment.
