Arbitration
Practice areaIn the global market, larger corporations must navigate a multitude of challenges and risks, including complex value chains, political risks associated with foreign investments, stringent compliance regulations, high-stakes transaction environments, complex financing, and an ongoing green transition lacking consensus.
Navigating the maze of today's business world is no easy task. Conflicts will inevitably arise at home or abroad. Arbitration is now the preferred method of dispute resolution because a case can be kept confidential, it is a "one-shot" process, and an arbitral award can be enforced virtually worldwide (unlike court judgments).
Handling arbitration cases – especially international arbitration cases – requires high specialization. Plesner is the market leader in Denmark for both national and international arbitration cases (regular arbitration and investment arbitration). We have an outstanding track record and rank among the top 100 law firms globally. With experience across various industries including energy, construction and infrastructure, mining, M&A, IT, telecommunications, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, and retail, our team brings diversity and experience from the Nordics, USA, UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Greece, and Singapore. Our team is regularly invited to speak at international conferences, contribute to rule development, and serve as arbitrators.
Our approach is client-focused: we assemble the most qualified and streamlined team for each case to ensure (financial) efficiency. We value and practice genuine teamwork, both internally and with our clients. We always provide honest advice – especially when it's tough. All of this is the key to further value creation for our clients.
