What we say about the firm's legal practice in Denmark

Dispute resolution

Within Dispute resolution, Norrbom Vinding is a third tier firm,

Marianne Norrbom and Jørgen Vinding at Norrbom Vinding act in a significant proportion of labour and employment cases brought before the Supreme Court. Christian Clasen won several age discrimination cases for SAS. Marianne Norrbom successfully represented the Danish Football Association in a landmark Supreme Court case concerning terms and conditions in standard player contracts.

Employment

Within Employment, Norrbom Vinding is a first tier firm,

Employment boutique Norrbom Vinding maintains its market-leading position, offering ‘high-level specialist service’. The renowned Mariann Norrbom successfully represented the Danish Football Association in the Supreme Court. Industrial relations expert Jørgen Vinding is known for representing employers in Supreme Court cases and advising Denmark’s largest media groups on restructuring. Christian Clasen provides ‘quick, business-oriented advice on collective bargaining’ and represented Scandinavian Airlines System in a high-profile age discrimination case, while Yvonne Frederiksen represented Air Greenland in a complex collective bargaining process. Tax expert Torben Mølgaard Hededal represents public and private sector clients. The defection of rising stars Marianne Granhøj and Jens Lund Mosbek to Kromann Reumert was mitigated somewhat by the arrival of Nicole Offendal from Lett Law Firm.

Within Employment, Norrbom Vinding is a first tier firm,

Lett Law Firm’s Niels Henrik Nielsen is representing football club Vejle Boldklub Elitefodbold in a high-profile arbitration. The team offers transactional support and standalone advice to Danish and international clients including Royal Dutch Shell, DSB and TDC. However, the group lost former practice head Nicole Offendal to Norrbom Vinding and Peter Albrechtsen to Advokatfirmaet Elmer & Partnere.
