- Trine assisted in the restructuring of a large Danish agricultural enterprise. The matter was particularly complex due to the size and many locations of the enterprise.
- Trine acted for a large food manufacturing enterprise, which had been severely challenged by the energy crisis and thus suffered a significant increase in energy costs; as a result, its business activities were no longer profitable. She assisted in the winding up of the enterprise by means of bankruptcy proceedings and the divestment of part of the enterprise with a view to reduced prospective operations.
- Trine provided legal assistance to a group of plot owners in connection with a renewable energy project, including with a combined peatland project to reduce CO2 emissions.
