About

Provided by Plesner

Plesner is the Danish market leader within Dispute Resolution. Our proven track record and our dedication to our clients have consistently earned us the highest international rankings and numerous prizes. From 2019 onwards, Plesner has also been ranked among the top international arbitration practices in the world, as the only Danish-based law firm. We strive every day to live up to our clients' expectations and - if possible - to exceed them. 

Plesner's Dispute Resolution team is composed of our Litigation Group and our Arbitration Group. These groups are staffed by highly specialized trial lawyers with extensive experience representing clients in domestic and international litigation and arbitration cases across various commercial sectors and legal fora. 

As one of the largest law firms in Denmark, Plesner has vast expertise within an array of specialized fields of material or procedural law and disputes, such as construction disputes, tax litigation, post-M&A cases, insurance disputes, financial disputes, IT cases, intellectual property and insolvency cases. In addition, we are specialized in international commercial arbitration and investment arbitration. We always seek to staff the cases with the best mix of lawyers for the case in question. Indeed, communication and knowledge-sharing are fundamental parts of the Plesner DNA, and thus the Dispute Resolution team frequently draws upon expertise found elsewhere in the firm in order to best meet our clients' specific needs.
