Legal Expert

Information

We give people access to justice 
 
Digital technologies are transforming the legal services market, and we are at the forefront of this revolution. As a part of  Flightright, the pioneer of IT-based legal services in Germany, Flyhjælp in Copenhagen - operating under the Norwegian brand Flyhjelp - combines innovation with legal expertise to give people access to justice. Together with our parent company, we are the global leader in passenger rights and aim to reach even greater heights as we expand internationally. Since 2010, more than 11 million consumers worldwide have benefited from our services.  
 
At Flyhjælp, our Litigation Department takes legal tech to the courtroom. We handle cases against airlines in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish courts, representing our customers' rights with a strong focus on results. From preparing legal pleadings to enforcing judgments, we ensure that air passengers are compensated fairly under EU Regulation 261/2004. 
 
The Norwegian market presents unique opportunities and challenges, as Norway is not part of the EU, but has implemented EU Regulation 261/2004. Currently, our Norwegian team consists of two colleagues mainly focused on Danish and Swedish cases, because most Norwegian cases are handled by an external law firm, but we are looking to strengthen our in-house capabilities. The right candidate will not only help us expand and improve our internal handling of Norwegian cases, but will also act as a key account manager, maintaining and developing our collaboration with the external law firm, ensuring reporting and quality control. 

 
We welcome applications from candidates based in Norway or an EU country, with the possibility to work fully remote, as well as candidates based in or wanting to move to Denmark. If you speak Swedish, Finnish, or Danish as well as Norwegian, that's a big plus 
 
With a team of 50 employees at Flyhjælp, including 23 dedicated colleagues in the litigation department, we are proud of our diverse professional backgrounds and strong team spirit. Based in Copenhagen, we operate in a Nordic and international environment, collaborating closely with colleagues in Berlin, Budapest, Cairo, and Kyiv.
