Greenland is of great and increasing importance nationally as well as internationally – in particular in relation to self-government or home rule as well as the exploration and exploitation of natural resources.
International Trade, Regulatory and Government Affairs
In Greenland, there is particular focus on activities relating to fishing and hunting as well as the prospecting, exploration and exploitation of minerals, oil and gas and other natural resources. On the Faroe Islands, focus is in particular on activities relating to fishing and hunting as well as the prospecting, exploration and exploitation of oil and gas. However, both in Greenland and on the Faroe Islands, the tourist industry and potential major infrastructure projects are also of interest to enterprises, investors and public authorities.
For many years, we have advised the Government of Greenland – now Naalakkersuisut – on issues relating to the prospecting, exploration and exploitation of oil and gas, minerals and other natural resources as well as issues relating to home rule, self-government and the importance of the Danish Constitution for the powers of Greenlandic and Danish public authorities, international agreements and international law, etc.
We have also advised the Government of the Faroe Islands – Føroya landsstýri – on a number of issues concerning a potential major public-private partnership (PPP) infrastructure project on the Faroe Islands.
We have profound knowledge of the national and international legal issues concerning Greenland and the Faroe Islands, e.g. their home rule and self-government, the importance of the Danish Constitution for the powers of the public authorities in Greenland, the Faroe Islands and Denmark, as well as international agreements and international law concerning Greenland and the Faroe Islands and activities in Greenland and on the Faroe Islands, e.g. natural resource activities.
