About

Allan Gabriel Zandberg is group general counsel for KK Wind Solutions, who employ a compact team of two lawyers to assist the company’s business operations in numerous ways via a proactive, commercially-minded approach that is complemented by a deep technical understanding of the group of companies. Eschewing the notion of being ‘just a legal provider’, Zandberg explains how the team, also containing lawyer Christina Bjerskov Vedsted, is crucial to driving the business forward in a commercial sense as well as giving solid legal counsel. The team work ‘very closely’ with the CEO and other executive management figures on strategically important matters, which recently included a restructuring to better fit strategic objectives and the initiation of cooperations with new customers. These matters cover a lot of ground and illustrate the broad scope of the relatively small team’s remit, for example the team led the divestment of Elogic and its group companies, as well as supported the exit from a joint venture in China through the sale of shares and handling negotiations with customers regarding frame agreements. Legal has gained a reputation for being true business enablers by their colleagues, which Zandberg explains is always with the aim to ‘take strategic, commercial and technical aspects into consideration’. Results in the recent past, including a top line growth of approximately 100-150% and the expectation of substantial annual turnover, indicate the increased support and excellent work of the legal team alongside their business counterparts.
