About us
The first and only Nordic law firm
We are the largest law firm in the Nordics as well as a global leader. As a client of ours, you’ll be met by dedicated lawyers with industry-specific knowledge, offering cutting-edge advice in both Denmark and across borders.
We are a full-service law firm providing top quality legal services to the corporate and public sectors. Our clients span private enterprises of all sizes as well as public authorities at local, regional, and national levels and publicly owned enterprises.
In Denmark, we are 300 staff members in our offices, which are situated in the hearts of Copenhagen and Aarhus. Our vision is to be a leading global law firm. We achieve this by delivering quality and value to our clients to help them succeed.
Part of the Nordics
We are the only global law firm with a pan-Nordic presence. The cooperative relations between the DLA Piper offices in Denmark, Sweden, Norway, and Finland have enabled us to set up a unique Nordic platform, where we can provide cross-border assistance to our clients. We act as one firm and compile cross-disciplinary teams of highly skilled lawyers.
In the Nordics, we have 550 lawyers organised in sector groups, which share experience and discuss market tendencies across national borders. This contributes to ensuring the key qualifications required, locally as well as globally.
Responsible business
Our Global Scholarships programme supports outstanding law students in developing countries reach their potential and contribute to the rule of law in their communities. And our Head Start initiative aims to improve equality of opportunity and break down barriers faced by under-represented groups when entering the legal profession.
We are proud to be signatories of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC). Our support for the initiative underlines our commitment to responsible business. Read our latest sustainability report.
DLA Piper strives to be a leader in environmental sustainability, undertaking initiatives to reduce the environmental footprint of its business activities in line with our Global Environmental Policy.
Diversity and Inclusion
At DLA Piper, diversity, inclusion and equality are a part of how we live our values. We are one of the world's largest law firms, with lawyers and staff in more than 40 countries throughout the Americas, Asia Pacific, Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Our people reflect the diversity of our clients and the many communities and markets where we work.
With offices worldwide, our efforts to understand, value and incorporate differences are woven into our culture. We are on a journey and, like most law firms, we still have some distance to travel. But with strategic approaches within our geographic regions, we're making great progress. Visit our diversity and inclusion website to learn more.
In 2005 DLA Piper became one of the largest business law firms in the world through a merger of unprecedented scope. The strategy was simple – to create a truly global firm capable of handling the most important legal needs of clients wherever they do business.
Building strong client relationships is the compass for our business strategy and future development. We are grateful for the support of our clients, our people and our communities, all of which have made it possible for us to celebrate the milestones and achievements that make up our evolving history.
