Senior Legal Counsel - Kjøller A/S

Jan 2023 – Aug 2025

I (still) make deals happen from our office in Dubai – negotiate terms, draft legal agreements, manage risks and keep everything in line with the law. As Senior Legal Counsel at Kjøller, I work with a focus on capital allocation, combining finance and law – evaluating investments, spotting new opportunities and advising our portfolio companies. Another equally important focus is the continuous expansion of our real estate portfolio, through acquisitions as well as new developments, which I highly enjoy being the lead on. We do business in Denmark, Dubai and internationally. We seek to invest in various business cases that match our investment philosophy while helping the businesses grow and perform. Over the years, we have nurtured a fantastic network which our portfolio companies benefit from.
