About

The increasing level of legal complexity surrounding the business of Nomeco, a pharmaceutical products wholesaler based in Copenhagen, has necessitated the growth of the legal department from two employees to almost 10 in a short time period. Leading the team during this time of change is Trine Katborg Davidsen, head of legal, who has overseen efforts to solidify the function as one that is a stronger, more competent sounding board for the company through continued commercial understanding. Central to many company events, the team has been able to build up the relevant and necessary competence quickly. Keeping both internal and external customers in mind, Davidsen explains the way in which the team has made a notable impact on operations: implementing ‘anti-bribery and competition policies throughout the organisation, supporting any damage claims that may arise’, and advising on contract implementations are just a few. The value added by the legal team is calculated subjectively, and the performance of each employee is evaluated and scored yearly.
