Partner

With his long-standing experience in the energy and climate area and wealth of knowledge of energy sector regulation, Per Hemmer is recognised as one of Denmark's foremost specialists in the field. 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.

Per has considerable experience establishing public utilities and setting up their regulatory framework as well as organisation and ownership structure. He has been responsible for some of the largest transactions in the energy sector covering state, municipal and private enterprises.

Per has been involved in large onshore and offshore wind turbine projects, but also projects including other types of renewable energy generation, such as solar power, biogas and geothermal energy. He also advises enterprises engaged in handling greenhouse gas emissions by way of, among other things, innovative technologies, such as carbon capture and storage. Per is also highly experienced handling other climate-related projects, such as surplus heat and remote cooling projects.

Per's willpower and dedication combined with his analytical approach and an impeccable attention to detail have made him a much-respected legal adviser among clients as well as his peers both in Denmark and abroad.
