Full-range supplier of strategic and legal advice for the offshore wind value chain

Offshore wind is one of the largest industrial developments of our time, and Norway is conditioned to be word-leading in this industry. The development of offshore wind provides significant opportunities for the Norwegian supplier industry, both in Norway and abroad.

However, the risks are considerable, with immature technology, undeveloped infrastructure, significant financial risk and geopolitical sabotage risk of completed installations. The cornerstone of our assistance is to ensure predictability over time – and our main focus is strategic advice and risk management.

To meet our client’s needs, Grette has established a dedicated team responsible for this market. Our team consists of lawyers with significant experience from international offshore wind projects, Norwegian and international offshore projects and other energy projects.

We assist developers with overall strategic management from the early planning phase to operation, including facilitation of robust financing and infrastructure, licensing and auction issues, contractual matters with particular expertise in Contracts For Difference, as well as handling coexistence issues and local regulatory matters.

For the supply chain, we assist with robust contracts for industrial development, be it in connection with the offshore wind installations themselves, relevant infrastructure, development of coordinated offshore grid solutions and technology development agreements.

We also assist with offshore wind compliance, particularly ESG/sustainability and competition law issues.

We see the whole picture.
