Legal Trainee
Katwijk, South Holland, Netherlands
I worked as the first legal hire at Oceans of Energy, a company at the forefront of offshore solar innovation. Some of the highlights of my traineeships included:• Designing a permit procedure, outlining the legal procedure to apply to build offshore energy installations in the North Sea. This outline will be used to guide future applications and interactions with the regulatory authorities.• Conducting independent legal research and analysis, supporting the business development team, into prospective markets, identifying those most suitable for market entry.• Creating a cooperation framework for our interactions with external partners, synthesizing and prioritising different workstreams into one comprehensive schedule.• Managing regulatory compliance across multiple departments including Operations, Maintenance, and Construction, fostering a comprehensive understanding of relevant legislative frameworks, including the Omgevingswet and the forthcoming Energiewet.
