Our services and fees

The scope of our services and the terms applicable to a particular engagement will normally be set out in the engagement letter entered into with the client.

Unless otherwise agreed, our fees are determined based on relevant factors, including the time spent, the nature and complexity of the matter, the responsibility involved and any time constraints.

Conflicts of interest and confidentiality

Before accepting an engagement, Highbridge conducts a conflict-of-interest check. Information received in connection with our legal services is treated confidentially in accordance with the rules applicable to Danish lawyers.

Anti-money laundering

Highbridge is subject to the Danish Anti-Money Laundering Act and is, where applicable, required to obtain and verify identification information concerning clients and their beneficial owners. We may therefore request identification and other documentation before or during an engagement.

Client funds

Client funds are handled in accordance with the applicable Danish rules governing lawyers’ client accounts. Highbridge’s pooled client account is held with Nordea.

Client funds are subject to the applicable Danish deposit guarantee scheme.

Liability and insurance

Highbridge maintains professional liability insurance and a guarantee in accordance with the rules of the Danish Bar and Law Society.

Any specific provisions regarding liability or limitations of liability are set out in the engagement letter entered into with the client.

Complaints
