Poul Schmith

Specialized legal consulting

Clear direction in a changing market

Poul Schmith is one of Denmark’s largest full-service law firms. Our ambition is to be the preferred strategic and legal partner for clients across the public and private sectors operating in highly regulated fields that are critical to society.

We are accustomed to working at the intersection of the private sector, public authorities and public-sector organisations. In particular, our breadth of expertise, insight into highly regulated areas and experience in matters of critical importance to society set us apart from other major firms in the market. Success in this intersection requires an understanding of both commercial drivers and wider societal interests.

We take our responsibility to society seriously and integrate it into our organisation. Sustainability and the green transition are important to us, which is reflected in the ambitious climate targets we have set. The human dimension, well-being, and a targeted, transparent and data-driven approach to diversity, talent and leadership development are likewise constant and essential priorities.

A high professional standard and integrity in the way we approach our work and our relationships have been our hallmarks for decades – and remain so today. We treat everyone inside and outside the firm with respect. Building on this foundation, we deliver innovative, resilient and enduring legal solutions.

We contribute to an evolving business sector and a society in balance.

Poul Schmith and Kammeradvokaten explained 

Kammeradvokaten (legal advisor to the Danish Government) is a title that we only use in matters that fall within the scope of our Legal Services Agreement with the Danish Ministry of Finance and where our role is to represent the Danish State and State undertakings.

We use the name Poul Schmith when we act for private and public clients that are not covered by the Legal Services Agreement.

Contact Us

We have offices in Copenhagen and Aarhus, Denmark, and in Nuuk, Greenland. For contact information, see here.

Our clients

We provide legal services to businesses in the private sector and public bodies, including regional authorities, government agencies, local authorities, etc. In order to avoid any conflict of interest, our assistance to private individuals is therefore very limited.

We do not provide any legal assistance in the area of criminal law.

Focus on green transition

As a firm, we take on corporate social responsibility by contributing to the green transition and the ambitions in the Danish Government's Climate Act.
