With around 200 lawyers, we have been advising our clients for more than 90 years in a broad range of legal expertises relevant to them. Our lawyers are internationally recognised as leading experts, both in their area of practice and industries in which they operate.
Our mission is to empower people and organisations and to work on responsible, permanent solutions together, something that is reflected throughout our company. From the way in which we work together to the idealistic organisations we support. The effects of our approach are reflected in fantastic awards and various high rankings. But what is more important to us is that our clients, for whom we have been working for many years now, appreciate us for the personal relationship, the attention and commitment.
