Testimonials

‘I have only worked with Emilie Møller and I am very pleased with the quality of work she has delivered. She is highly engaged and has a broad knowledge. She is a skilled negotiator and good at executing tasks. She always delivers on time.'
‘The team at DLA always delivers competent advice when we need it. The communication flow is good and efficient. We have had DLA as an advisor for a long time, and we have therefore also created an effective collaboration, as they often know our needs before we do.'
'The individuals I have worked with at DLA give the impression that they are not just delivering services because it’s their job, but because they have a personal interest in successfully completing the projects. I have rarely encountered such a high standard and level of efficiency as what has been delivered by DLA. I have primarily worked with Partner Per Soon Larsen, who deserves the highest praise.'
‘Thomas Albrechtsen has been very diligent on the cases we worked on during the year. He is very good at introducing other resources from his firm when needed. We can see on different deliveries that he is supported by a strong team.'
‘DLA excels at understanding the client's business perspective and acts accordingly with a full commercial understanding. The work is thorough, yet delivered at an exceptionally high speed.'
‘Emilie Møller always shows high expertise and skillset - she has a broad knowledge of real estate and provides a great balance between pragmatism and theory. She is always very much into the details of each transaction and the process. Can highly recommend working with her.'
