DreistStorgaard Advokater A/S

As of 1 January, DreistStorgaard Law firm will establish a new office in Copenhagen. At the same time, three new partners, Nicholas Ørum Keller, Nikolaj Bak-Christensen and Thomas Grue Baruch, together with eight employees will join the firm, all coming from Baker Tilly Legal Firm. The three partners will enter the partner group and take an active role in the continued development of the firm. “We are proud of our history and values, but we have always kept our focus on the future. This expansion is part of our long-term strategy. We are strengthening our professional environment and expanding our local presence to serve our clients even better. With the new partners, we gain additional energy, expertise and perspectives that align with the direction in which we wish to grow,” adds CEO and owner Svend-Aage Dreist Hansen. The three new partners bring strong expertise within M&A, corporate law, commercial law, employment law, construction law, real estate, compliance and marketing law. They will become an integrated part of DreistStorgaard and strengthen the firm’s existing practice areas. The agreement also reflects a shared ambition to ensure a smooth generational transition with partners who share the core values that define DreistStorgaard. “We look forward to becoming part of DreistStorgaard and contributing to the company’s continued development. We share the ambition of combining high legal professionalism with a practical and business-oriented approach to advisory services. We also value the culture and strong sense of community that characterizes DreistStorgaard, it provides a solid foundation for achieving results together,” say Nicholas Ørum Keller, Nikolaj Bak-Christensen and Thomas Grue Baruch. Both parties expect significant synergies and future growth. A stronger footprint in the capital DreistStorgaard currently has offices in Køge, Holbæk, Sorø, Roskilde, Næstved, Aarhus and Copenhagen. Until now, the existing Copenhagen office has functioned as an internal workspace and has not been open to clients. With the launch of a fully client-facing office in Copenhagen, DreistStorgaard is taking an important step forward in its growth journey. This expansion comes after several years of substantial progress and rising demand from clients nationwide. “It is a natural and important step for DreistStorgaard to formally open in Copenhagen. For many years, we have built a strong foundation with local and regional roots, and by establishing a client-facing office in Copenhagen, we strengthen our position and accessibility for both existing and new clients,” says CEO Svend-Aage Dreist Hansen. Earlier this year, DreistStorgaard celebrated its 10-year anniversary. The firm is owned by Svend-Aage Dreist Hansen and Søren Storgaard, who together have more than 30 years of experience in the industry.
