Bech-Bruun

Bech-Bruun ’s employment team is renowned for its broad expertise, particularly in advising on reorganisation and remuneration policies, data and trade secret protection issues and collective bargaining agreements. The team serves a diverse clientele, including public and private entities, and is well versed in managing employment-related litigation and investigations. The practice has expanded its offerings and has become a go-to adviser regarding complex Danish business immigration regulations. The team is headed up by Lise Lauridsen, who typically advises on matters involving executive-level employees. Another key name to note is the ‘invaluable’ Sandro Ratkovic, who handles cross-border employment matters including business immigration regulation work, trade secret protection issues and mass redundancies.
