Since 2022, Sebastian has assisted a publicly owned port in a major arbitration case, including expert appraisal, against a turnkey contractor who was due to construct an oil terminal for the port. The contract was terminated by the port during the construction period, and the dispute concerns the justification of the termination, liability for delays, and the state and quality of the partially constructed oil terminal.

Since 2023, Sebastian, together with colleagues at VILTOFT, has advised a client in a major case complex that includes an arbitration case and several expert appraisals against a turnkey contractor responsible for the design and construction of the transport system for a large infrastructure project. The dispute between the client and the turnkey contractor concerns additional works, defects, delays and disruption.

Sebastian speaks English and understands the Scandinavian languages.
