Testimonials

  • ‘Martin Dahl Pedersen is one of the best IP lawyers in Scandinavia.’

  • 'We were assisted primarily by Martin Dahl Pedersen and Kathrine Kjær regarding IP rights. We experienced a strong collaboration where they incorporated the inputs we had, but most importantly they cut the case to size, they were up to date on new case law and new rulings that could be used in our case. We do not feel there is anyone better in the field than Kromann Reumert to assist us in these areas.'

  • ‘Martin Dahl-Pedersen is exceptional and a true expert in the field. He is sharp and highly analytical with a fine tuned understanding of our business. He is very pragmatic and solution oriented with great people skills. He is always available at short notice.’

  • ‘Martin Dahl Pedersen and Kathrine Kjær. We have a long-standing collaboration, which ensures continuity in our collaboration. This means that they can quickly analyse the case for us, and they build up knowledge in our organisation so that we can also put the right questions back to Kromann Reumert when we are faced with a similar case. We always have the feeling that they have the latest knowledge and they are pragmatic in their approach, without cutting corners.'

  • ‘The team is as good as it gets. ’
