Highlights

In banking and finance, the firm has had a long-standing history with the Government of Greenland and the Faroe Islands. Recently the firm played a critical role in advising Faroese company Elfelagið Streymoy-Eysturoy-Vágar with its largest refinancing to date in connection with financing intended to support the Faroese government's green energy policy that intends to make the island powered by green energy completely by 2030.

Project development highlights include advising Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy in the negotiations of a turbine supply agreement with ELEKTROWNIA WIATROWA BALTICA for two offshore wind projects. The offshore wind project is recorded to be the largest offshore wind project to date in Poland. This deal reflects the firm's leading presence in the sustainable energy sector.
