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

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.
