Employment and Labour Law

Even if your company has a strong and qualified HR department, there will be situations where you need extern legal advice.

Complex legislation regulates the Danish labour market, and in addition, many Danish companies are covered by collective agreements. This may create challenges for you as a manager or employer when you need to ensure that your company complies with the most recent legislation governing employment and labour law.

Therefore, it can be a good investment to receive legal advice from a lawyer with expertise in employment and labour law. The correct advice or sparring ensures that your company complies with the most recent legislation in the field. For example, to prevent being met with claims for compensation for unfair dismissal.
