Welcome to a legal team of highly skilled and passionate lawyers with great cross country collaboration and a unique competence base. The role is based in Copenhagen.

Who you are

Collaboration. Ownership. Passion. Courage. These are the values that guide us in being at our best – and that we imagine you share with us.

To succeed in this role, we believe that you:

Solid understanding of Danish corporate law and corporate governance relevant to financial institutions Excellent Danish and English skills, written and spoken High level of integrity, excellent analytical and communication skills with the ability to break down complex information in an understandable way True team spirit, an open mind and positive attitude


Your experience and background:

Master's law degree from a Danish university Experience and expertise of prudential financial regulation and/or capital markets regulation is a benefit Several years of relevant work experience, preferably from a financial institution or a law firm


If this sounds like you, get in touch

Next steps
