Offshore wind

Advice on offshore wind projects

Leading the offshore wind industry

Offshore wind is a core competence at SAAF. Since 2010, our lawyers have advised operators, developers, investors and suppliers in some of Denmark's - and Europe's - largest offshore wind projects.

We have deep experience of the legal and commercial issues that characterize the entire project lifecycle - from early development phases to operation, maintenance and sales. Our advice covers everything from regulatory issues and permits to complex contracts and risk management.

Among other things, we assist with:

Development, collaboration and operating agreements

Procurement and acquisition of technical equipment, including substations and inter-array cables

Financing and investment agreements

Claims management, insurance and risk management

Safety, health and environment (SSM)

IPR, technology and IT

Regulatory processes and regulation, including EIA, RE Act, right to buy and value loss schemes

Consulting and development

Our clients range from large infrastructure owners to medium-sized contractors and suppliers that we advise in Denmark, Germany, UK, Belgium and France.

SAAF's lawyers are also active in the development of the industry. We regularly give presentations at offshoreenergy.dk and Esbjerg Erhvervsudvikling, and we are committed members of a number of networks.

Practice and policy

Our insight into practice and policy makes us a valuable partner for companies that want to navigate the complex offshore wind sector safely.
