Specialist areas
LIND focuses on a number of specialist areas and key areas of commercial law. We assist businesses, professional organisations and private individuals in these areas.
LIND has considerable litigation experience. Our litigation specialists conduct a large number of legal and arbitration cases. We regularly conduct cases before the Danish Supreme Court.
LIND’s expertise within legal and arbitration cases means that we can also advise clients on procedural risks, both prior to and during the course of a dispute. This enables us to offer constructive advice in order to achieve the solution that overall best serves the client’s interests.
With regard to contract negotiations, our experience from legal and arbitration cases gives us the opportunity to provide proactive advice, so as to minimise the risk of a dispute at a later stage.
Several of LIND’s attorneys are regularly appointed as arbitrators.

LIND has considerable experience from handling estates in bankruptcy and represents many clients in connection with bankruptcy issues, including employees, banks and suppliers.
We continuously have around 100 estates in bankruptcy under administration, including estates of considerable complexity and within virtually all sectors.
We have the capacity that is needed in the hectic stages that inevitably arise when a company faces financial difficulties. We know that it is necessary to draw on knowledge of other legal areas, such as company law, labour law and financing law. The vital parameter for us is to achieve the best result for the company and its creditors, and to limit the loss of jobs.
LIND’S objective is to achieve the fastest possible administration of a bankrupt estate, with the best possible outcome for creditors and mortgagees, without compromising on the quality of the work.
During the bankruptcy proceedings we pay great attention to the possibility of imposing bankruptcy quarantine on the management, if the circumstances make this advisable.
LIND therefore assists with the following, among other things:
- Filing of bankruptcy petitions and reconstruction applications, including advice on these procedures
- Serving as creditor-elected receiver and reconstruction administrator
- Administration of small and large bankruptcies and reconstructions
- Pursuit of employees’ interests and creditors’ interests in general
- Protection and issue of special rights/assets
- Lawsuits against bankrupt estates, including avoidance proceedings raised by bankrupt estates
- Establishment of debt rescheduling schemes, including settlement schemes and assistance in negotiations with creditors

General corporate and commercial law is one of LIND’s core areas. We advise on every aspect of corporate and commercial law issues, including negotiation and preparation of commercial contracts, establishment of companies, capital structure, restructuring (including demergers and mergers), board services, corporate governance and compliance. LIND also advises on any kinds of partnerships, including joint ventures and various kinds of consortiums. LIND’s attorneys are often appointed as chairmen of general meetings and as board members.

As a service to our trade union clients, LIND Advokataktieselskab offers early warning of indications of employers facing payment difficulties of which we become aware of in our handling of cases concerning attachment of salaries.
We call this our ‘Early Warning’ service. The aim is to make trade unions aware of employers concerning whom it should be investigated whether other members have not received due payment of salaries, holiday pay, pensions or other benefits.
Content of the scheme
Under the scheme, at regular intervals, normally every 14 days, we issue a current overview of the salary attachment cases, etc. for which there is reason to believe that the employer is facing payment difficulties.
The summary contains the following information:
- Employer’s name
- Address
- CVR no.
- The date of submission of claims, bankruptcy petitions and proceedings in the bankruptcy court, and the pronouncement of the insolvency decree to the extent this is applicable.
How to join the scheme
All trade unions that we assist with salary attachment cases have the opportunity to register for the scheme. Registration is free of charge.
If you, as a trade union representative, are interested in learning more about the scheme and our assistance in general, please contact us at anb@lindlaw.dk and we will give you a call.
How to be deleted from the list
If you are an employer that has been added to the list, you will be notified of this.
If you pay the outstanding salary, you will be deleted from the list. We will also do this if you disagree as to whether a claim exists, and you have given us documented evidence that there is no claim.
For further information, please contact the partner in charge: Anders Bendtsen

More about LIND

LIND’s owners are Anders Bendtsen, Christian Soldbro Dubin, Mads Bendix Skelbæk-Knudsen, Christian Bentz, Peter Clemmen Christensen og Frederik Brocks, plus associated partners Rasmus Riisbro og Thea Præstmark.
Today, LIND consists of around 50 employees.
LIND’s Board of Directors comprises Mads Bendix Skelbæk-Knudsen (Chairman), Frederik Brocks and Anders Bendtsen. Anders Bendtsen is CEO.
- Scope of Application
The provisions of these terms and conditions apply to all tasks performed by LIND Advokataktieselskab (LIND), unless otherwise agreed upon in writing. - Regulation – lawyers and management
The lawyers at LIND are all appointed by the Ministry of Justice in Denmark and are members of the Danish Bar and Law Society. LIND performs its tasks in accordance with the rules of the Danish Administration of Justice Act concerning lawyers, and the legal ethics rules adopted by the Danish Bar and Law Society. LIND is subject to the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act and collects and stores identity information about clients in accordance with the law. Both legal and other employees at LIND have a duty of confidentiality and are subject to the prohibition against insider trading as stipulated by the Danish Securities Trading Act. Documents included in LIND’s processing of a case are stored in physical and/or electronic form for 5 years after the case is closed. In certain cases, documents may be stored for a longer period based on a specific assessment. Upon receiving a task, LIND examines whether there is any incompetence, conflict of interest, or other circumstances that would prevent LIND from handling the case. - Fees and disbursements
The fee is determined based on the time spent on handling the case, the scope of work, the complexity of the task, including the need for specialist expertise, the values related to the task, the responsibility associated with the task, the significance of the task for the client, and the result achieved. LIND is happy to provide a price estimate. If we have provided an estimate, we will inform you in reasonable time if we expect our fee to exceed the estimate. Depending on the circumstances, LIND may request payment of the fee in advance, and we may also request a deposit to cover incurred or anticipated disbursements. Invoicing is typically done on a quarterly basis. - Client funds
Funds belonging to LIND’s clients are managed in accordance with the Danish Bar and Law Society’s rules for client accounts. Interest on client funds accrues to the individual client in accordance with these rules. In relation to coverage from the Danish Deposit Guarantee Fund for amounts held in client bank accounts, the same restrictions apply as for ordinary bank accounts. If a bank undergoes reconstruction or bankruptcy, all those with funds in the bank may lose amounts exceeding a total value of €100,000. The limit of €100,000 applies collectively to amounts a client holds in their own accounts at the bank and amounts held in the same bank through a lawyer’s client account. LIND holds client funds in Arbejdernes Landsbank and Nordea Bank Denmark. LIND is not liable for any loss of client funds resulting from the limitation on coverage from the Danish Deposit Guarantee Fund.Interest on funds deposited with LIND that belong to the client is credited to the client account with LIND. The interest corresponds to the rate that LIND obtains from the relevant bank where the account is maintained. However, interest is not credited for amounts (I) deposited as security for LIND’s fee claims, (II) prepaid to cover expenses to third parties, (III) under DKK 25,000, (IV) deposited in LIND for 10 days or less, or (V) when it is due to the client’s circumstances that the amount cannot be forwarded to the client. - Complaints
In case of dissatisfaction with LIND’s advice or the handling of the case, the client can always contact either the responsible partner or LIND’s managing director. LIND is subject to the legal ethics rules issued by the Danish Bar and Law Society. The client can refer complaints about our advice and the estimated fee to the Disciplinary Board of the Danish Bar and Law Society/the General Council of the Danish Bar and Law Society. The Disciplinary Board of the Danish Bar and Law Society can be contacted by writing to the secretariat of the Disciplinary Board of the Danish Bar and Law Society, Kronprinsessegade 28, 1306 Copenhagen K. The legal ethics rules can be found at www.advokatsamfundet.dk. - Liability for damages and insurance
Any liability of LIND follows the general rules of Danish law. However, LIND’s liability in each case is limited to DKK 50 million, and LIND does not compensate for indirect losses such as loss of business, loss of goodwill, loss of profit, and data loss. LIND has legal malpractice insurance, and lawyer’s guarantee insurance at HDI Gerling. - Copyright
The written material prepared by LIND in connection with the execution of a task is part of the advice provided by LIND to the individual client. LIND retains all copyrights and other intellectual property rights to the material. - Governing law and place of jurisdiction
Any dispute related to LIND’s handling of tasks for clients shall be governed by Danish law and be resolved by Danish courts.
