About

Flügger is an international conglomerate headquartered in Denmark with 12 subsidiaries located throughout Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and Asia. The company specialises in designing, producing and marketing decorative painting, wood protection, spackling paste, wallpaper and tools. In April 2014, the Flügger legal department underwent a substantial adaptation with the recruitment of group general counsel Torben Schwaner Dehlholm. This addition resulted in a fundamental change to how the Flügger legal team was managed and perceived by the organisation. In a short period of time, the team has been transformed from being a passive and retroactive department to a modern and proactive service provider offering sharp, professional and positive contributions. In addition to the professional enhancement, Flügger Legal has implemented a new code of conduct and revised various policies such as stock exchange regulation, anti-bribery, competition law, data protection and whistle-blowing. Within the last year, the legal department has revised and negotiated the extensive agreements regulating the Flügger franchise retail chains in Denmark, Sweden and Norway; this was successfully achieved via close collaboration with various other departments within the organisation. The group was able to secure a new and up to date agreement which ensured better and more compliant cooperation in the three geographically defined chains as well as the facilitation of optimised marketing and business conduct. One nominator explains that ‘Flügger’s legal team is known for being progressive and highly skilled in spite of its size’.
