About

The legal department at Oslo-headquartered engineering and construction company Kvaerner is staffed with five lawyers and one compliance offer, and is led by senior vice president legal and general counsel Henrik Inadomi. Having been handed down two specific mandates from Kvaerner’s president and CEO, the team has undertaken a guardianship role and strengthened oversight in terms of monitoring all facets of business risk, whilst also being responsible for contract management processes to identify contractual risks at an early stage and help define strategic responses to optimise the company’s position. Proving themselves as trusted business partners, the legal team is charged with dealing with issues high on senior management’s agenda across several legal and commercial facets. These include important compliance work to ensure acquiescence with applicable rules and regulations, including in jurisdictions with active trade restrictions enacted in the US, EU and Norway. Also asked to deliver on a wide-ranging internal mandate the team has a responsibility for a legacy case backlog, necessitating the use of the internal team and external counsel in an appropriate way.
