About

Henrik Inadomi is the senior vice president and general counsel at Kvaerner, an engineering and construction services company that has a long history in the decommissioning of off shore oil and gas installations. He joined Kvaerner in 2012 after holding the position as general counsel and company secretary at Qatar Aluminium Limited, a joint venture between Norsk Hydro and Qatar Petroleum, for two years. In his current role he is responsible for the legal and compliance functions and is part of Kvaerner’s executive management team. While at Kvaerner he was tasked with handling a very complex litigation case in the US with claims and counterclaims well in excess of hundreds of millions of dollars, and gave significant exposure to Kvaerner as a company. Inadomi devised the case management strategy and says, ‘through strong teamwork, and close cooperation with our external counsel, Kvaerner’s outcome in this case significantly exceeded expectations of both our management and our board of directors’. Inadomi has published several academic articles, mainly on energy law which illustrate his knowledge and commitment to the legal field within the sector. Prior to his current role, Inadomi served as a research fellow at the department for petroleum and energy law at the University of Oslo, and his PhD thesis titled “Independent power projects in developing countries – legal investment protection and consequences for development” was later published as a book. Inadomi graduated from the University of Oslo in 2011 and holds an LLM in international economic and business law from Kyushu University, Japan.
