Martin Sandgren joins the renewables team in Ince & Co's London office bringing considerable international transactional, project and dispute resolution experience developed both in private practice and latterly with a leading industry provider of on- and off-shore wind energy solutions.
After five years in-house as Co-Head of Legal with Siemens Wind Power A/S, Martin joins Ince as Of Counsel and will play a key role in servicing the firm's renewables clients and further developing the Firm's offering, with the emphasis upon corporate and transactional matters.
At Siemens, Martin focused on structuring, negotiating and managing legal risks on large and complex on- and off-shore wind and solar energy projects, working on ground breaking transactions throughout Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the United States and East Asia. He has particular experience advising on EPC/consortiums, off-shore construction, installation, vessel, supply and service agreements, project finance, project agreements, and co-investments, as well as advising on joint ventures, M&A and other strategic transactions, disputes, insurance and risks management matters. With almost 15 years' experience working as both private practice and in-house lawyer, in London, New York, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Brande/ Vejle, Martin has a well-rounded wealth of experience of international transactions.
"I know Ince & Co very well from my time at Siemens and earlier in private practice. The Firm has a unique combination of outstanding international energy and maritime credentials, as well as having a collegiate and entrepreneurial spirit that's characteristic of renewables work and the industry's way of thinking," Martin Sandgren said.
"We are excited to bring Martin on-board. His strengths and synergies with the team as well as his broad experience covering the full range of corporate, M&A, finance, maritime, projects and construction work, and experience of large complex onshore renewables projects makes him an exceptional addition to our team," said Chris Kidd, partner and Head of Renewables.
Jeremy Farr, Ince's Global Head of Energy comments: "Martin has an outstanding reputation for hands-on experience with major international renewables projects work. He has been in the thick of the sector for a number of years, covering Europe and emerging markets, and his knowledge and expertise, as well as his in-house perspective, will be of great benefit to our clients."
