Testimonials

  • ‘They are very competent and understand key issues quickly.’

  • ‘Jacob Møller Dirksen is a superstar and has my highest recommendation. He is sharp, to the point and very good in court. He also works as an arbitrator, which is clear proof that his peers in Denmark trust and respect him. He will shine in the Danish litigation scene for many years to come.’

  • ‘I believe that the teams have a strength when it comes to post-M&A disputes partly due to Accura's position in the M&A market. Besides their strength within post-M&A disputes, Jacob Møller Dirksen is very experienced in professional liability and D&O liability, including on insurance matters.’
