Employment law expertise delivered quickly and personally
LABORA Legal is a specialist firm recognised by peers and international legal directories as being among the leading firms in Denmark within employment and labour law.
At LABORA, we have more than 100 years of combined experience and specialisation built in, which means that clients pay solely for the actual delivery of advice, sparring, and effective problem-solving. We work flexibly, respond quickly, and deliver solutions – always in close, personal dialogue with our clients.
All attorneys at LABORA each have at least 20 years of experience in employment and labour law and have, for many years, been partners at Denmark’s major law firms and led their employment and labour law departments. This has provided us with deep insight into a wide range of industries, which is why we are well equipped to handle assignments for both multinational corporations and smaller businesses.
Practical solutions with a focus on your company’s operations
LABORA is a trusted partner for all HR matters and we also assist in Management Training.
At LABORA, we combine legal expertise with a deep understanding of business and HR matters. We do not simply deliver high-quality legal solutions – we act as an active partner in our clients’ HR and business development.
LABORA is committed to every assignment – regardless of timing or scope. We are dedicated to delivering the highest professional standards and the right business solutions. We recognise that the law is not an end in itself, but a means to find the best solutions, which must also be aligned with the company’s operations.
