I have completed this questionnaire to the above to the best of my knowledge and believe they are

accurate.

VIAC offers arbitration practitioners the possibility to present themselves on its website. VIAC reserves

the right to publish any presentations submitted and to remove it as the case may be. Parties are free

to nominate an arbitrator of their choice and so is the VIAC Board when appointing an arbitrator.

These presentations do not constitute recommendations but may assist the parties in choosing an

arbitrator willing to conduct proceedings according to the Vienna Rules. The fact that an arbitration

practitioner appears on this list, does not authorize this person to use the title "VIAC-arbitrator".

x� I hereby consent that the data provided in this questionnaire may be processed for the

appointment of arbitrators and published by VIAC. This includes in particular publication on the

website of VIAC as well as use in any presentations, etc. This consent may be withdrawn at any time by

contacting VIAC at our general contacts, in particular by email addressed to [email protected]. The

consequence of any such withdrawal will be that my data will no longer be processed by VIAC. For

further information, see our privacy statement at http://www.viac.eu.

Geneva, 2 July 2018

Re.: Letter of reference for Jacob C. Jorgensen Dear Madam or Sir, Mr Jacob C. Jorgensen has asked me to provide you with a letter of reference, which I understand will be used to assess Mr Jorgensen as a possible VIAC arbitrator candidate. I have known Jacob C. Jorgensen since 2005 when we both worked as associates in the law firm, Lalive, in Geneva. Subsequently we have worked together on a number of cases, including dispute resolution and more particularly commercial arbitration matters. Mr Jorgensen is a Danish attorney specialised in international arbitration. In addition to the Scandinavian languages, he speaks English and French and also has a good command of the German language. He holds law degrees from the University of Cambridge and the University of Copenhagen and is a Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Arbitration. He has also been listed as an arbitration expert in the Who’s Who Legal for several years. Apart from in Switzerland, Mr Jorgensen has practised law in both Denmark and the United Kingdom where he was registered as a foreign practitioner for a number of years. I should also like to mention that Mr Jorgensen has a wide knowledge of the Scandinavian legal systems, including Swedish law. In 2003, he was thus responsible for the Nordic legal systems at the Swiss Institute for Comparative Law in Lausanne. Furthermore, Mr Jorgensen is academically very active. He regularly publishes in the field of arbitration and construction law and frequently speaks at international energy law and construction law conferences. I am also aware that he has recently accepted a position as a guest lecturer at the University of Copenhagen.

As a former equity partner of the law firm, Philip & Partners, Mr Jorgensen is a well-known and highly regarded member of the international arbitration community in Scandinavia. He has been involved in several major disputes both as counsel, co-counsel and as arbitrator over the past 15 years. Most recently, he has served as a High Court judge (pro tem) in the Eastern Division of the Danish High Court – a position only offered to a few distinguished members of the Danish legal profession. I have recently had the privilege of working closely together with Mr Jorgensen on a major dispute involving a multitude of biomass power plants in the United Kingdom. From this work and from my longstanding professional relationship with Mr Jorgensen and my knowledge of his background, qualifications and personal qualities, I am pleased warmly to recommend him as an arbitrator candidate. In my practice, I am frequently engaged in the appointment of arbitrators. In my opinion, Mr Jorgensen would be qualified to adjudicate as an arbitrator in a wide range of commercial disputes, including in particular construction disputes and disputes arising out of energy contracts. His knowledge of both common law and the civilian legal systems - including in particular Swiss and Swedish law – combined with his experience as a High Court judge will undoubtedly render him an attractive candidate among users of VIAC arbitration. Should you need any further information or details regarding Mr Jorgensen, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely,

Phillip LANDOLT
