Bo Schmidt Pedersen

Bo Schmidt Pedersen specialises in construction law and procurement law, in particular construction and procurement for the Danish Armed Forces. Bo's clients are mainly public employers. Bo has previously worked as an advisor to contractors and technical consultants.

This unique experience enables Bo to always consider an issue from many different angles. Bo specialises in providing advice in the cross field between procurement law and construction law, and he has experienced good synergies by linking the procurement process and its organisation with the subsequent design and build phase. Bo has thus developed extensive experience in providing advice in all stages of the procurement process.
