We are commercial specialists
Law combined with our thorough business understanding has formed the basis of our advice since we were established by Sten Kirk Larsen in 1973.
We are about 100 employees distributed across our offices in Esbjerg, Copenhagen, Herning and Skjern, and our growth has been purely organic. Our headoffice is located in Esbjerg. In 2022, we also opened an office in Greenland, situated in Nuuk.
Additionally, we aim to expand with further niche businesses. Growth is thus a key word for us.
We give clear answers and get to the point
We have in-depth knowledge and many years’ experience in a wide range of specialist fields. And we work every day to add value for our clients, giving clear answers and focusing on what is most important in each case. We take part in negotiations on behalf of our clients and understand that law is often just one among many relevant aspects to consider in order to achieve the best result for you as a client.
As a client you will always have a dedicated contact person who will manage your case swiftly and efficiently from start to finish. We will answer your emails and phone calls within 24 hours and if we find it reasonable and appropriate, we can also give you advice within the same time frame.
