About

In the 10 years Rolf Busch has been general counsel, he has seen the legal department grow from a small Norway-based team to a well-established international department in Statkraft’s offices around the world. He held the role as lead counsel for a EUR 4.5 billion transaction between Statkraft and E.ON, which was transformational for Statkraft: ‘I was heading a team of internal and external lawyers in a rather complicated transaction, which was asset based and covered five different jurisdictions’. The complexity of this transaction was a challenge,but also rewarding. Busch has built his legal team in line with Statkraft’s strong growth over the last 10 years, ensuring that the legal needs of his business peers can be catered for. Part of this has been to organise the lawyers by their key competences and experiences, utilising their skills for the company in the best possible way.
