International & Cross-Border Capabilities

Chambers Review

Large international law firms with an on-the-ground presence in Denmark have traditionally been rare; however, DLA Piper has challenged that trend during recent years, by entering the market through a merger with an established Danish practice, LETT Law Firm. The practice now has a unique offering in the market, combining an expansive global presence with well-reputed practices in the USA and the UK and across Europe, Asia and Latin America, with a longstanding reputation for local Danish law expertise. DLA's coverage of the Nordic region, with reputable teams in Sweden, Finland and Norway as well as Denmark, also creates an attractive platform for clients.

The Danish team's traditional strengths in mid-market transactions, competition law and restructuring match up well to the strengths of the firm's wider global platform. It often serves clients from the IT and financial sectors on multi-jurisdictional matters, and the team is particularly noted for its understanding of the German market in relation to the latter. Sources frequently note that the DLA Piper network has strengthened the international capacity of the Danish practice, partly due to increased exposure and experience on inbound transactions referred from the law firm's overseas offices.
