Bruun & Hjejle

The history of the firm is first and foremost a daily reminder of our shared ambition. That the firm must always evolve into an even better firm with an even stronger sense of community. We shook off the dust of previous centuries many years ago. Although Bruun & Hjejle is among the largest Danish law firms, we decided long ago not to be full service. In our view, it is neither credible nor tenable to try to be the best at everything. Therefore, we have been courageous enough only to focus on three areas: M&A, Real Estate and Dispute Resolution. This allows us to understand in depth the business and processes that we deal with, and to find solutions that set new standards.

Not being full service also means that we consider ourselves both less and more agile. With the average age of our partners being lower than that of our competitors, we are at eye level with a market that demands innovative thinking and adaptability in solution models as well as collaboration structures.

Bruun & Hjejle's history dates back to 1878 when the supreme court attorney Charles Shaw founded the law firm that was later known as Hjejle Gersted Mogensen. In 1922, H.H. Bruun, who was also a supreme court attorney, founded his law firm. For decades, both law firms were among the leading firms in the Danish legal profession, and they achieved prominent positions as advisers within numerous areas. Bruun & Hjejle was created in 2009 based on a shared culture and a wish to gather some of the most skilled lawyers in the country in one unique firm and a strong community.

Actually, innovation and adaptability are reflected in everything we do, because we are, and insist to be, different at Bruun & Hjejle. For instance, we put the team before the ego, and our passion for solutions strengthens both our execution ability and resoluteness when we advise our customers to go right or left ? and not just present scenarios. It is one of our promises to the world that we have opinions and give recommendations. We are legal advisers who actually dare to give advice. This may not be common practice ? but we are not afraid to confront the "disclaimer culture" of the legal profession, but then again, we are always backed by an entire team.
