Having witnessed the substantial changes the sector has undergone during the past decades, Per has built profound insight into all fields of energy law.

Per renders advice to several Danish and non-Danish oil and gas companies on licence and contract issues, and he is a trusted adviser to some of the largest Danish and non-Danish energy and utility companies.
