Ørsted A/S

Ørsted is the world's largest developer of offshore wind energy and a global leader in renewable energy, headquartered in Gentofte (Hellerup business district) near Copenhagen. Formerly known as DONG Energy, the company has undergone one of the most dramatic green transformations in corporate history, divesting its oil and gas operations to focus entirely on renewable energy. With approximately 8,000 employees globally, Ørsted's legal department handles energy regulation and Danish Energy Agency (Energistyrelsen) compliance, offshore wind farm permitting and construction contracts, power purchase agreements (PPAs), project finance and green bond issuance, EU energy law and the EU Green Deal framework, and ESG/sustainability reporting. The legal team navigates complex multi-jurisdictional regulatory frameworks as Ørsted develops wind farms across Europe, North America, and Asia.
