Welcome to Legal
You’ll be part of the in-house legal team where you, together with your colleagues, will serve as a trusted advisor to the business along with over 80 dedicated colleagues. Our advice is grounded in a deep and broad understanding of both our organisation and the wider energy industry. You’ll be part of the team responsible for providing legal support to our Trading & Revenue and Bioenergy businesses. As a team, our ambition is to deliver proactive, timely, cost-efficient, tailored, and commercial high-quality legal advice across our geographical footprint.

  • handling any legal disputes, including litigation, arbitration, and mediation processes.

To succeed in the role, you:

  • are a qualified attorney-at-law admitted in Denmark, equipped with relevant experience from a law firm or an in-house team in a larger company

  • are commercially minded and possess strong analytic skills
  • can communicate clearly and simply, both verbally and in writing, in Danish and English
  • enjoy developing relationships with key stakeholders and can quickly establish credibility.

Maybe you’ve read the above and can see you have some transferable skills, even though they don’t quite match all the points. If you think you can bring something to the team, we still encourage you to apply.
