When developing a new product, an invention or a design, protection of intellectual property rights may be relevant.

HjulmandKaptain can assist with all kinds of questions in relation to insurance, both when taking out insurance and when estimating a damage.
Questions when taking out insurance:
Counselling on insurance matters forms a natural and necessary part of corporate counselling. At least once every year, all companies ought to review their insurance conditions for the purpose of ensuring that the coverage corresponds to the company’s risk.
Typical questions concern securing that the insurance sums are sufficient (which is particularly relevant for growing companies) and insurance of liability and transports.
The natural time for such review is when the company is preparing its annual report, but of course, the review may take place at any time that is most practical to the company.
HjulmandKaptain has no financial advantage in taking out insurance for companies and may therefore also advise on alternative methods instead of insurance for the purpose of mitigating the company’s risk.
