Another particular area of expertise is the issues that arise where company law/M&A and employment law intersect.

Internationally, Claus has widespread contacts, and his advice is often sought by international lawyers and businesses because of his innate understanding of their special needs. He is also one of Kromann Reumert’s two representatives in Lex Mundi, the world’s biggest and premier international lawyers’ network.

Claus offers particular strength handling extremely large cases, effectively coordinating excruciating amounts of documents while at the same time staying on top of even the most complex legal issues. He has argued some of the biggest cases heard before a Danish court of law in recent times, including some of the biggest Supreme Court cases.
