Experience with assisting Danish establishments in UK
Birkwells is a firm with an international outlook and specialist knowledge of the Danish and other overseas jurisdictions and markets.
The firm traces its roots back more than three decades to the first multinational partnership in England and Wales. Since its early days the firm and its team of dual qualified and multilingual Danish advokats and English solicitors has assisted clients ‘building bridges’ across the world – and in particular clients in the Anglo-Danish community.
Our cross-border expertise advising businesses from a wide range of industry sectors is well established.
The firm has a proud tradition supporting the Anglo-Danish community. In 1989 one of the firm’s legacy partners was a founding member of The Danish-UK Chamber of Commerce and in 2017 our firm also played a role when the Chamber merged with the Danish Club to form the Danish-UK Association.
