New book unlocks Danish contract law for English speakers

The book "Danelaws on Contracts - principles, practices and law today" was published this November. The book contains Danish contract law translated into English by lawyers with a description of the legal principles and common contract clauses. As far as is known, it is the first time that a book with this content has been published. A reference book for everyone working with Danish contracts and agreements in English.

Attorney and Plesner Partner Frants Dalgaard-Knudsen is the lawyer behind this, literally speaking, unique book that is useful for the business world. The book is a result of foreign clients' demand for exact knowledge of the area.

It goes without saying that it is a definite advantage to be able to understand the details of Danish contract law and to predict problems if you are a foreign player starting to do business in Denmark. It is consequently expected that with its presentation of legal principles, review of contract clauses, translations of acts in the area of contract law, review of international sets of rules and examples of 'agreed documents' "Danelaws on Contracts - principles, practices and law today" will be a useful book of reference. Also for lawyers and others providing advice in English and having to refer to current Danish law.

"Danelaws on Contracts - principles, practices and law today" can be ordered from several Internet booksellers, for example www.saxo.com. Examples of the book's contents can be seen at www.danelaws.dk.
