NJORD LAW FIRM – Your gateway to the Nordic construction market
Expanding into the Nordic construction market?
NJORD Law Firm helps international companies navigate regulation, manage risk and deliver legal advice to complex construction and infrastructure projects.
NJORD Law Firm is an international business law firm with a strong presence in the Nordic and Baltic region. From our offices in Denmark and the Baltics, we advise international and domestic companies on complex legal matters related to cross-border business. Many of our clients are internationally active companies that need reliable legal guidance when entering or expanding their activities in Northern Europe.
For companies looking to operate in the Nordic construction and infrastructure markets, NJORD often acts as a legal gateway to the region. We combine deep knowledge of local legal frameworks with a strong understanding of how projects are structured and delivered in practice. This enables us to support contractors, developers, investors and consultants throughout all stages of their projects.
Legal clarity in a complex construction environment
The Nordic construction market offers significant opportunities, but it is also characterised by complex procurement rules, regulatory frameworks and contractual structures. Our role is to help clients navigate this environment with clarity and confidence. We advise on all phases of construction and infrastructure projects, from procurement and contract negotiation to project execution and dispute resolution.
One of NJORD’s key strengths is our deep industry insight. Within several of our practice areas, we have lawyers who work closely with market participants and have extensive experience advising companies involved in construction and infrastructure projects.
Among them is legal partner Steffen Hebsgaard Møller, who will be among the representatives of NJORD at BNCC. In addition to advising clients on complex construction matters, Steffen also serves as chairman of the board of Arpe & Kjeldsholm, a Danish contractor delivering large and complex construction projects with an annual turnover exceeding DKK 1 billion.
“Having direct insight into how large construction companies operate gives us a stronger foundation when advising our clients. It allows us to combine legal expertise with a practical understanding of how risks and decisions unfold during a project,” says Steffen Hebsgaard Møller.
Navigating Danish labour rules in international construction projects
Another area where we often see challenges in international construction projects is labour and employment law. For international contractors entering the Danish market, labour regulations, collective agreements and workforce mobility can be among the most complex aspects of a project.
Our colleague, legal partner Cecilie Sletskov-Hjorth, is one of NJORD’s leading specialists in labour and employment law and has extensive experience advising companies in the construction sector. She regularly assists international contractors in navigating Danish labour rules and compliance requirements.
“International contractors are often surprised by the complexity of Danish labour regulations. Our role is to ensure that companies understand the rules from the outset so that projects can move forward without unnecessary legal or operational complications,” says Cecilie Sletskov-Hjorth.
Because NJORD works across legal disciplines including construction law, procurement law, corporate law, tax, employment law and dispute resolution, we are able to support our clients throughout the entire lifecycle of a project.
At NJORD, we believe that effective legal advice in construction requires more than technical legal expertise. It requires a deep understanding of how the industry works in practice. By combining specialised legal knowledge with real insight into the construction market, we help our clients anticipate challenges, manage risks and successfully deliver projects in the Nordic region.
We provide clients with a clear overview of the legal landscape so they are well prepared before entering the market.
