These Terms of Business apply to all instructions accepted and services rendered by Lawyer Jes Christian Fisker, business reg. (CVR) no. 40575715, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
– Insurance and guarantee
​
I am admitted to practise law in Denmark by the Ministry of Justice and am a member of the Danish Bar and Law Society, and I have taken out the required professional indemnity insurance and guarantee cover with Tryg Forsikring A/S. My indemnity insurance covers all legal services provided by me, regardless of where the services are provided.
​
​
– Case handling
​
All communications and information received from the law firm's clients will be treated in confidence, and I will not accept any instructions which involve an actual or potential conflict of interest.
​
The copyright in all material I prepare for my clients belongs to the law firm, except for normal use by the client and unless otherwise agreed in writing. No provisions on choice of law or jurisdiction are included in agreements with clients, unless agreed in writing.
Clients will be informed that emails are not encrypted and will be deemed to have accepted the use of unencrypted email.
In accordance with the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act, the law firm will obtain and keep proof of identity from its clients.
​
​
– Fees
My fees are generally charged on a time spent basis, but in some cases, depending on the circumstances, my fee will also reflect the importance of the matter to the client, its complexity and the value added by my services as well as the result achieved, the specialist knowledge required and the responsibility involved. My fees are usually invoiced monthly in arrears, and the terms of payment are 10 days net from the invoice date. My fees are subject to VAT.
Interest will be charged on late payments in accordance with the Danish Interest Act.
Clients and potential clients may request a fee estimate, and consumers will always be informed of any expected disbursements and expenses. Furthermore, all clients will be informed as soon as possible if the fee is expected to exceed any fee estimate given.
Client funds which are received, eg. as an interim payment of my legal fees, will be deposited on a client account with a reputable bank and will be covered by the Danish Guarantee Fund for Depositors and Investors Act, which means that the funds will be covered up to a general limit of EUR 100,000. The limit is for the total funds deposited, even if they are deposited in separate accounts, including a combination of client accounts and own accounts.
​
​
– Data protection
​​
The law firm processes personal data in accordance with Articles 5, 6(1), 9 and 10 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation and Part 3 of the Danish Data Protection Act. If the basis for processing is consent, the client is entitled to withdraw consent at any time, but the law firm may continue to process the data that may be processed on a basis other than consent.
​
The purpose of the law firm's processing of personal data is to provide legal services to its clients. The law firm is the controller of the personal data being processed by the law firm and will always seek to process such data in a secure and confidential manner so as to provide the greatest possible protection. As an overriding principle, there will be no data transfers to third parties.
Personal data will not be retained any longer than necessary and will be deleted once they no longer have any relevance to the assignment in question or the client relationship. Personal data will be deleted no later than 10 years after the completion of the relevant assignment. Clients are granted a number of rights under data protection legislation and, by way of example, have a right of access to the personal data held by the law firm about the client, provided that the information in question is not subject to confidentiality. Clients also have a right to erasure and rectification of data and a number of other rights which the law firm would be pleased to discuss with the client if so desired, and the client may also contact the Danish Data Protection Agency: https://www.datatilsynet.dk/
