Where I typically create the most value
FMCG industry │ Engineering industry
I have many years of experience in these industries, which has given me specialist knowledge and a thorough understanding of the issues and risks to watch out for. I can therefore deliver highly targeted, specialised and business-oriented support to companies in the FMCG and engineering sectors.
Companies without a legal function
I have a broad commercial law profile and extensive experience building and managing legal functions. I can take charge of a company’s legal affairs and serve as a trusted advisor to management and a legal business partner for the rest of the organisation.
Typical situations
Peak workloads, sick leave, parental leave or transition in the legal team
“Legal House Keeping” for companies without a legal function
Specific projects: contract negotiations, advisory work, M&A workstreams

How I work
Close to the business – with actionable, commercially oriented advice
Clear prioritisation with a focus on quality and making the law understandable
Collaboration with external lawyers when specialist expertise is needed
Transparent pricing
Hourly basis
I generally bill on an hourly basis. The hourly rate is determined by the scope, complexity and desired response time. I always strive for transparency in pricing and continuously align expectations on deliverables, time spent and budget.
Larger engagements & fixed fee
For larger engagements and fixed-fee arrangements the hourly rate is typically lower. This could be retainer agreements, fixed days per week or a larger project over a period.
Frequently asked questions
I have deposited my Danish bar admission, which means I may not use the title of attorney and I cannot appear in court. I can still handle “lawyer tasks” within my areas of expertise, such as contract negotiations, and my legal skills and competencies remain the same. Compared to traditional external lawyers, I work more like an in-house counsel – close to the business and with a broader focus than purely legal matters.
A senior corporate lawyer who provides flexible in-house advisory at management level on a part-time or project basis – without permanent employment.
Both. A hybrid model often works well: on-site during onboarding and negotiations. Day-to-day operations can usually be handled remotely, but I strive to be on-site on a regular basis whenever possible.
Contact me for an informal chat about needs, wishes and priorities. We’ll take it from there.
When specialist expertise is needed, I refer to external specialists. As a rule I do not hire them myself, but I can help find the right adviser and serve as the interface between the adviser and the company.
Yes, I carry professional indemnity insurance with HDI.
