Greenland Desk

Our expertise

Gorrissen Federspiel has established a sound knowledge of the special circumstances – both regulatory and commercial – that apply to business enterprises in Greenland.

Our clients have different nationalities and cover a wide range of activities in Greenland, and thus they require advice within a broad spectrum of commercially related issues, both inbound and outbound. Greenland Desk gathers and coordinates the firm’s knowledge of Greenland and Greenlandic conditions and ensures that this is reflected in our legal counselling. Our clients include several enterprises owned by the Home Rule, privately owned enterprises inside and outside Greenland as well as the Home Rule.
