Jacob Christian Jørgensen
I am a Danish lawyer with more than 20 years’ PQE from Swiss, UK and Scandinavian law firms as well as in-house positions. I specialise in international arbitration law, maritime law, environmental law and construction law - with particular focus on large infrastructure projects and onshore and offshore renewable energy projects.
In 2016, I joined the Chartered Institute of Arbitrators (CIArb) as a Fellow, and in 2024 I was elected vice chair of the European Branch of the Institute. I have acted as an arbitrator under the Rules of Procedure of the CAS, the ICC, the Danish Institute of Arbitration and in ad hoc arbitrations. In 2019, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne appointed me as the third Danish national arbitrator of the court. I have also been appointed as a panelist by among others: The WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center in Geneva; the Court of Arbitration for Art (CAfA); the Asian International Arbitration Centre (AIAC); the Dubai International Arbitration Centre (DIAC); the Shenzhen Court of International Arbitration; and the Chinese Arbitration Association.
In August 2021, I qualified as a FIDIC Certified Adjudicator and was included on the FIDIC President's List. In 2022, I was appointed chairman of FIDIC's Task Group 14, which is drafting a new FIDIC book for offshore wind projects. In October 2023, I joined the state-owned company, Femern A/S, which is the Employer on the Fehmarnbelt Fixed Link project - currently, the largest IMT project in the world. In October 2024, I enrolled as a PhD student at the Faculty of Law of the Humboldt University in Berlin.
