Ole Horsfeldt started out as a general commercial lawyer, but over the past 25 years, he has become an outsourcing lawyer specializing in outsourcing IT requirements, business processes, and facility services. Today, Ole heads up Gorrissen Federspiel's Digital Business practice. The team is among the most specialized outsourcing advisers worldwide.

Oles' advice typically involves agreements with a regional or global reach and covers more than just "the agreement" or the legal terms. His mission is to make outsourcing successful for service buyers. Ole is well-known for managing complex outsourcing transactions through combining legal, compliance, operational, and strategic perspectives.

To Ole, client enablement is paramount. Therefore, his advice is designed to support clients in managing and reaping the benefits from outsourcing. Ole has been the architect behind concepts such as proactive remedies, co-operation agreements, the "deliver first, settle later" principle, and fast-track dispute resolution, which have set the standard for modern outsourcing in the Nordic countries.

In all of Ole's work, the element of continuous improvement plays an important role. A result of this is the development of a Contract Management method, “Omnicent”, designed for managing long-term and complex sourcing agreements. This method includes six contract management processes, 16 contract management roles, detailed role descriptions and workflows, templates, and much more.

Ole Horsfeldt is ranked as a Star Individual in Chambers Europe, ranked in Who's Who Legal, and top-rated in Legal 500 (Hall of Fame and Leading Individuals).
