In Denmark, we are 300 staff members in our offices, which are situated in the hearts of Copenhagen and Aarhus. Our vision is to be a leading global law firm. We achieve this by delivering quality and value to our clients to help them succeed.
Part of the Nordics
We are the only global law firm with a pan-Nordic presence. The cooperative relations between the DLA Piper offices in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland have enabled us to set up a unique Nordic platform, where we can provide cross-border assistance to our clients. We act as one firm and compile cross-disciplinary teams of highly skilled lawyers.
In the Nordics, we have 550 lawyers organised in sector groups, which share experience and discuss market tendencies across national borders. This contributes to ensuring the key qualifications required, locally as well as globally.
Responsible business
Our Global Scholarships programme supports outstanding law students in developing countries reach their potential and contribute to the rule of law in their communities. And our Head Start initiative aims to improve equality of opportunity and break down barriers faced by under-represented groups when entering the legal profession.
We are proud to be signatories of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). Our support for the initiative underlines our commitment to responsible business. Read our latest sustainability report.
