About

World leading global information services company Experian provide data and analytical tools to clients around the world. Employing approximately 17,000 people across 37 countries, and with a 2015 revenue of $4.8bn, the company help businesses manage credit risk, prevent fraud, target marketing offers and automate decision making. The Danish arm of Experian employs around 120 people, and the legal team has been cited as one of Denmark’s most influential and high-quality in-house functions. Several aspects of the Danish team’s work is connected with their position as a team supporting part of an international corporate giant; they oversee all Danish legal affairs for the group, the regulatory compliance of the company’s large technical and sales staff (which comes in an environment that receives regular media attention), and in a business sector that has potential to be completely transformed due to new and strict EU-based data privacy laws. A cross-collaborative function serving an important link between business units, Experian’s legal team is responsible for liaising with the company’s European and global legal and compliance team. Against the backdrop of a global corporate group their performance in this aspect of their role has been praised by external sources for its intensive ‘legal skills, language skills and business flair; it also requires immense social skills and cross-cultural understanding’.
