Position

Kenneth Hvelplund Pedersen assists Danish and foreign companies with threatening and pending litigation and arbitration proceedings.

Kenneth has previously worked in our Corporate/M&A practice group where he gained insight into the business of many of our clients. In Corporate/M&A he advised on several significant IPOs and corporate acquisitions, among other matters. Kenneth uses this knowledge actively in his role as a litigator. Knowledge about the clients’ businesses is a major strength in the effort to prioritise the issues of a case and obtain a good result in an environment where the battle lines have been drawn by disagreeing parties.
