Immigration law

We handle all communication with the relevant authorities, and continuously follow up on your case. We advise you until the residence permit is obtained.

Complaints to the Immigration Appeals Board

If your application for family reunification, residence permit, work permit, permanent residency or visit visa has been refused, the decision can be appealed to the Immigration Appeals Board. Withdrawal and cancellation of your residence permit can also be appealed. We have successfully prosecuted several cases to the Immigration Appeals Board and can also prosecute your case. We have legal, professional, and practical knowledge of practice. Our experience tells us that appealing a decision is not without significance.

Schengen visa to Denmark

A foreigner who is a citizen of a visa-requiring country and who wishes to visit Denmark for a shorter period must apply for a visa. A visa usually entitles you to stay in the entire Schengen area. The number of applications to Denmark is increasing. However, not everyone gets a visa. We know about the fall groups. We have handled a large number of visa-related cases, and can provide you with specialized legal advice in this regard. We help you to fill in the application correctly, as well as assist you in providing the necessary documentation.

Private law

Victim cases

If you have been the victim of a violent crime, sexual assault or another serious offence in Denmark, you have the right to a free lawyer who represents you - not the state, not the defendant. This is called a bistandsadvokat (victim's counsel). The right applies regardless of your nationality, and Globe Advokater provides this service in English.

Inheritance

Whether you are inheriting assets in Denmark as a foreign national, or planning your estate as an expat living in Denmark, understanding Danish inheritance law is essential. Danish succession rules are governed by arveloven (the Succession Act, LBK nr 1347 of 15 June 2021) and can differ significantly from those in your home country. Globe Advokater provides specialist advice in English.

Divorce

Going through a divorce in Denmark as a foreigner or expat? Danish divorce law is straightforward in many respects, but navigating Familieretshuset (the Danish Family Law Agency), understanding your rights to remain in Denmark, and ensuring a fair division of assets requires expert guidance. At Globe Advokater, we help foreign nationals through every step of the process.

Criminal defence

If you are facing criminal charges in Denmark as a foreign national, you face two separate legal challenges: the criminal case itself, and the potential immigration consequences. A conviction may lead not only to a fine or imprisonment, but also to deportation and an entry ban covering the entire Schengen area. At Globe Advokater, we provide expert criminal defence in English, with full understanding of both dimensions.

Civil litigation

Civil disputes in Denmark - whether involving a broken contract, a personal injury, a tenancy disagreement or an employment matter - follow a structured legal process governed by Danish procedural and substantive law. As a foreign national or expat, navigating this system without legal advice puts you at a significant disadvantage. Globe Advokater provides specialist civil litigation advice in English at every stage of the process.

Child removal

The compulsory removal of a child from their parents - known in Denmark as tvangsfjernelse - is one of the most serious interventions the state can make in a family's life. If you are a foreign national in Denmark facing this situation, you have the same rights as Danish parents, including the right to a free lawyer. Understanding the process quickly is critical.

Property purchase

Denmark has some of the most restrictive rules in Europe on property acquisition by foreigners. Before you sign anything, you need to know whether you are legally permitted to buy, and under what conditions. At Globe Advokater, we advise foreign nationals through the entire property purchase process, from the initial eligibility assessment to registration of ownership in the Danish land registry.

Child custody

Going through a custody dispute in Denmark as a foreign national or expat? Danish parental responsibility law (forældreansvarslovens) is built around one central principle: the best interests of the child. Understanding how this principle is applied - and how to navigate Familieretshuset, the Danish Family Law Agency - requires specialist legal advice. At Globe Advokater, we advise foreign parents in English throughout the entire process.

Bankruptcy disqualification

Konkurskarantæne - bankruptcy disqualification - is one of the most serious civil sanctions that can be imposed on a business manager or director in Denmark. If disqualified, you lose the right to found or participate in the management of limited liability companies for up to three, or in serious cases five, years. The case is brought by the bankruptcy trustee (kurator) and adjudicated by the probate court (skifteretten). Globe Advokater provides specialist defence advice in English.
