The Danish rules within employment law and labor law make great demands on today's employers. Therefore, as an employer, you need a lawyer who can help you secure your company in the best possible way. At NJORD, we assist Danish and foreign companies with the employment law challenges that a company can face in everyday life.

EXPERTISE IN EMPLOYMENT LAW AND LABOR LAW

Even if your company has a strong and competent HR department, situations will still arise where you need external legal advice from a lawyer.

The Danish labor market is regulated by complex legislation. At the same time, many Danish companies are covered by collective agreements. This can create challenges for you as a manager or employer when you have to ensure that you as a company act in accordance with the latest and applicable legislation in the field of employment law.

Therefore, it can be a good investment to get help from a lawyer with expertise in employment law and labor law. The right legal advice or sparring ensures that your company is in control of the applicable rules, so that you avoid, for example, being met with claims for compensation for unjustified dismissal.
