EU and international law

EU rules and international law have a substantial impact on Danish authorities and businesses. The law develops rapidly, rules become increasingly complex, and the consequences of non-compliance may be grave. Authorities and businesses may quickly lose track and undertake unnecessary legal risks if their organisational setup does not ensure ongoing updating and compliance. 

We help you navigate the waters of international law

We help public authorities and businesses every day in their efforts to comply with EU rules and other international obligations. We conduct lawsuits and provide advisory services to clients within all aspects of EU law and international law, including human rights. For instance, we offer pinpoint analyses of specific issues of difficulty, large-scale screening of compliance with EU and international law within specific branches of jurisprudence and areas of activity, and we perform checks to identify gold plating. We work proactively with prevention and – when things have gone wrong and a conflict has arisen – with operational dispute resolution and efficient litigation.
