Horten is among the leading advisers within Danish and international dispute resolution. We have wide experience handling commercial disputes, including arbitration, settlement negotiations, preservation of evidence, arbitration proceedings and mediation, etc. We have several highly specialised lawyers engaged primarily in resolution of all forms of commercial disputes, arbitration proceedings in Denmark and abroad, international enforcement and corporate criminal law.
Our expertise within commercial disputes and arbitration is based on many years' experience as an adviser to a large number of companies across the world regarding various commercial disputes, and we have also conducted numerous arbitration proceedings in Denmark and internationally. Several of our lawyers are experienced arbitrators before Danish and international arbitration tribunals.
We assist with targeted and business-orientated dispute resolution and make a realistic assessment of the possibilities of risk regarding the case at hand - including whether the dispute may be settled by negotiation. Our assessment includes not only the legal aspects, but also commercial, temporal and financial considerations.
