Areas

We are Denmark’s first specialized law firm within the fields of state aid law, competition law, public procurement law, and EU law.

Our DNA is the common thread that runs through our firm worldwide.

It’s formed over many years, as teams joined the firm and offices were established in different locations, united by a shared purpose and common vision. It guides the way we work and deliver for our clients firmwide. Essentially, it guides who we are.

It is not simply about being a good (or great!) place to work - our DNA is the primary factor in why we can and do deliver exceptional advice for our clients, as well as attracting and retaining some of the best lawyers and business professionals in the world.

This common thread is underpinned by a set of behaviours that pinpoint what we expect of ourselves on an everyday basis - what makes us special today and what promises to fuel our growth tomorrow. It is something we must nurture and grow, to help us all succeed.
