I enjoy the challenge of setting a strategy and watching it work – whether in the context of litigation, negotiations or in drawing up pay and incentive programmes, staff policies or similar schemes. For me, the strategy has worked if I have a happy client and if the strategy was successful without jeopardising relations with employees, organisations or others.

I advise on all aspects of labour and employment law, but my areas of special interest are:

• Litigation before the Danish High Court and Supreme Court and the European Court of Justice
• Financial institutions, issues particular to financial sector employees as well as the special financial sector regulation
• International and multinational organisations and their legal issues
• Legal inquiries for public authorities, private sector companies and organisations
• Acting as an arbitrator or umpire in disputes
• Industrial relations
• Law firm management and development
