Employment Law in Denmark

Danish employment law is characterised by flexibility, but also by collective agreements and collective labour law. Whether employment contracts, dismissals or co-determination – companies must be aware of Danish peculiarities. We provide you with practical and solution-oriented advice to help you avoid legal pitfalls and make sound decisions.
We also advise you on German employment law – from employment contracts to dismissals and co-determination.

Danish employment law differs in many ways from the German system. It relies heavily on collective agreements and flexible termination rules. Companies need to be familiar with the role of trade unions, minimum employment standards and employee rights. We support you in drafting and reviewing employment contracts, advise on dismissals, negotiations with trade unions and labour disputes. Our focus: pragmatic and entrepreneurially sensible solutions for your individual challenges.
