Gammeljord Advokater's Terms of Business apply to any assignment that the client requests one of the independent law firms that are part of a shared office at Gammeljord Advokater ApS to assist in solving on behalf of the client, unless otherwise agreed in writing. The parties to the agreement are thus the client and the independent law firm with which the client enters into an agreement on legal assistance. The words "us" and "we" and "our" in Gammeljord Advokater's Terms of Business thus refer to Gammeljord Advokater ApS or the individual independent law firm. If the client enters into an agreement with one of the independent law firms on additional terms and conditions for the collaboration, such an agreement will supplement the Terms of Business. If there are any discrepancies between the content of the Terms of Business and the separate agreement, the content of the separate agreement will take precedence. Unless otherwise expressly agreed, the client accepts that we cooperate with and accept assistance from other independent law firms that are part of the shared office community at Gammeljord Advokater ApS in connection with providing assistance to the client. If we cooperate with others outside the auspices of Gammeljord Advokater on legal advice in agreement with the client, we will provide information on the measures we have taken to avoid any conflicts of interest in this regard, at the client's request. All lawyers at Gammeljord Advokater ApS and in the shared office are licensed by the Danish Ministry of Justice, Department of Civil Affairs and members of the Danish Bar and Law Society. Information about the individual lawyers that must be notified or made available to the client pursuant to the Code of Conduct for the Danish Bar and Law Society, including Articles 21, 35 and 36, can be found on www.rglaw.dk; including on the individual lawyer's profile page.
When we receive an assignment from a client, we check through our internal procedures that there is no conflict of interest or reason for disqualification.
For each assignment our rules on confidentiality, insider trading and anti-money laundering also apply.
Our fees are calculated based on (i) the time and specialist knowledge used in our assistance and the experience of the staff involved, (ii) an overall assessment of the nature and outcome of the assignment, the value and importance of the assignment to the client, (iii) the nature of the work and (iv) the liability involved in completing the assignment.
For individual assignments, we normally invoice when the assignment is completed. For long-term assignments and ongoing client relationships, we invoice on a monthly or quarterly basis. Payment terms are 14 days unless otherwise agreed.
Late payment will result in interest being charged on the invoiced amount. Non-payment may lead to our withdrawal from the assignment as well as from other assignments we may be handling for the client.
In addition to the fee for the assistance provided, the client will be invoiced for any disbursements incurred in this respect.
Our fees are subject to VAT in accordance with applicable Danish legislation.
If the client is obliged in his/her/its home country to withhold tax from our fee, the fee will automatically be increased by such amount that GA will receive an amount equal to the amount originally invoiced before withholding tax.
GA’s VAT (SE) number is DK27242782.
If it is relevant to seek advice from other advisers, for example on foreign law issues, such an assignment is discussed with the client when choosing the adviser. The client is the instructing party for such advisers, even if the invoice is addressed to GA.
We are not liable for the advice provided by these advisers.
Funds entrusted to GA by our clients are managed in accordance with the Danish Bar and Law Society’s rules for client accounts (Klientkontovedtægten), which are statutory rules on how lawyers handle entrusted funds.
Unless otherwise agreed with the client, client funds will be deposited in our client account with our usual bank, Danske Bank A/S. When using client accounts, including for foreign transactions, the terms and conditions of the bank involved as well as guidelines and customary practice for the business in question are respected. GA is not liable for any errors or delays of the banks involved as a result of e.g. a delay due to selection for internal audit.
GA is not liable for funds deposited in client accounts with our bank if the financial institution in question fails. Client funds deposited in client accounts are covered by the general rules on deposit guarantees and are thus, as a rule, subject to a coverage limit of EUR 100,000 for all accounts held by the client with the financial institution in question.
All lawyers at GA are covered by the firm’s liability insurance and guarantee scheme taken out with Tryg Forsikring A/S.
The liability insurance covers all legal activities carried out by GA, regardless of where the legal activities are carried out.
We are liable for our assistance to our clients under Danish law. However, our liability does not include loss or damage caused by cyberattack or IT-breakdown, operating loss, loss of data, loss of profits, goodwill or other forms of indirect loss.
If another adviser’s liability in relation to the assignment in question is limited, excluded or not fully covered by insurance, our liability is limited to the amount for which we would have been liable if there had been no such limitation, exclusion of liability or limitation in insurance cover.
Our liability is limited to an amount up to a maximum of DKK 30 million pr. assignment. Our legal advice is focused on a specific assignment and may therefore not be used for any other purpose without our express and prior written approval.
Our client relationship ends when the final invoice for our assistance is issued, or at the request of the client. If, in a particular assignment, we believe that we can no longer act in the interests of the client, we may withdraw from the assignment. Original documents are normally handed over when the assignment is completed at the latest.
Intellectual property rights in material prepared by GA belong to GA, unless expressly agreed otherwise.
Disputes with GA will be settled in accordance with Danish law and the Danish courts have exclusive jurisdiction to hear claims against GA.
GA’s employees are subject to professional secrecy and confidentiality concerning our clients’ matters and other affairs.
All information that we receive from our clients in connection with our assistance is subject to our duty of confidentiality as lawyers, and we therefore treat this information with complete confidentiality.
The duty of confidentiality applies subject to rules imposing disclosure obligations on lawyers in relation to public authorities or others, including the anti-money laundering rules and the rules on the taxation of reportable cross-border arrangements under EU Directive 2018/822/EU (DAC6).
GA’s employees are subject to internal rules for handling inside information about listed companies and restrictions on trading in listed securities.
GA collects and processes personal data about our clients and other persons involved in legal matters that are processed in the course of the exercise of our legal activities. Information about GA’s collection and processing of such personal data and your rights as a data subject can be found in our Privacy Notice, which is available at www.rglaw.dk
In case the client uses automatic transcription services in relation to telephone calls or online meetings with GA employees or lawyers, those transcriptions cannot be relied on as legal advice provided by GA but are deemed to constitute internal notes. Only transcriptions that are subsequently approved in writing by GA shall constitute legal advice.
Lawyers at GA are subject to the Danish Act on Measures to Prevent Money Laundering and Financing of Terrorism (the ”AML Act”).
Under the AML Act, we are required to obtain among other information identity information and any other documentation from both new and existing clients who have not previously provided identity information. Clients must therefore provide their name, address and civil registration number (CPR number) or company registration number (CVR number) when opening a matter with us. Foreign clients must provide other information that identifies the client in a similar way as a CPR number for individuals or CVR number for companies.
Identity information obtained on natural and legal persons as part of our obligations under the anti-money laundering rules will only be processed and stored for the purpose of preventing money laundering and financing of terrorism. Such identity information will not be processed for other unsanctioned purposes, including commercial purposes.
Under the AML Act we are required in certain situations to notify the Danish Bar and Law Society and/or the Danish Special Crime Unit if we suspect or have reasonable grounds to suspect that a transaction, funds or activity is or has been related to money laundering or financing of terrorism. In the context of such notification, identity information obtained may be disclosed to the Danish Bar and Law Society and/or the Danish Special Crime Unit without notification to the client, its representative or other parties.
If GA is to open a separate client account or receives payment to our combined client account, we are also obliged to pass on the identity information obtained to the financial institution in which the client account is opened for the purpose of complying with obligations under the AML Act.
Identity information is kept as set out in our Privacy Notice, which is available at www.rglaw.dk
All lawyers at GA are licensed by the Danish Ministry of Justice, Department of Civil Affairs, and are members of the Danish Bar and Law Society.
The lawyers at GA are thus subject to the Danish Bar and Law Society’s supervisory and disciplinary system and the code of legal ethics, cf. section 126 of the Danish Administration of Justice Act. In addition, lawyers are subject to the Code of Conduct for the Danish Bar and Law Society. The rules governing the exercise of the profession of lawyer are available at the website of the Danish Bar and Law Society: www.advokatsamfundet.dk
If our assistance or fees do not meet the client’s expectations, we encourage the client to contact the partner responsible for the client relationship. We will then discuss the issue and seek an amicable solution to the issue.
The lawyers at GA are subject to the general rules of the Danish Bar and Law Society regarding complaints, including complaints about the amount of the fee and/or complaints about conduct, which are dealt with by the Disciplinary Board (Advokatnævnet). The rules applicable to the Disciplinary Board are available at the Disciplinary Board’s website: www.advokatnævnet.dk
The client may always file a complaint with the Disciplinary Board at the following address:

1306 Copenhagen K, Denmark
