By way of example, he acted as legal adviser to the owner on the two largest PPP contracts ever concluded in Denmark and currently represents the owner on the largest infrastructure project in northern Europe. He represents both private and public owners, lenders, contractors and technical consultants, and provides advice in English, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian.

Rasmus has significant experience with major urban development projects, spanning a variety of collaboration models. He has acted for both the public and private sectors in these often long-term engagements, where he is frequently retained as a trusted adviser throughout the project's lifespan.
