Extensive experience in international cases
We are regularly contacted by foreign lawyers that need expert advice regarding the Danish rules on custody, division of property, alimony, separate property, prenuptial agreements and similar problems.
We are also specialists regarding inheritance law and wills in Denmark. Read an excerpt from our chapter on Danish inheritance law in "International Succession", Oxford University Press, 2021.
Our lawyers speak several languages - and we have established cooperation with translators when one is needed.
We are part of the International Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers (IAML) as well as Global Law Experts and have been involved in many international cases. In the past year we have been involved in cases from England, South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong, Dubai, Sweden, USA , France and Belgium.
Example : We were highly involved in a case in London about Jurisdiction in the UK and helped secure a positive outcome for our client. It is now a "Recorded case" - M v M EWHC 982 (see further : click here)
Creating a prenuptial agreement on separate property
If you want to have separate property in your marriage, you must sign a prenuptial agreement. It can be difficult enough to agree on the extent of separate property with your partner - but does one part of the couple belong to a different nationality, there are additional aspects that must be clear :
- Which country's family law are you subject to?
- Can we even legally create a Danish prenuptial agreement?
- And should the prenuptial agreement be translated into a language that your (future) spouse understands?
We also offer our advice regarding already established Danish prenuptial agreements, including whether they meet the Danish legal requirements or not.
