Client funds
Funds entrusted to the Law Firm are managed in accordance with the Danish Bar and Law Society’s rules on client accounts (klientkontovedtægten). The Law Firm has client accounts with Danske Bank.
The Law Firm is not liable for client funds deposited in client accounts with the firm’s banking institution in the event that the financial institution becomes insolvent. In case of the bank’s bankruptcy, depositors are covered under the Act on a Guarantee Scheme for Depositors and Investors. The guarantee fund covers an eligible depositor’s funds up to an amount equivalent to EUR 100,000 (approx. DKK 750,000). The coverage limit applies to the Law Firm’s total deposits with the bank, even if the funds are held in different accounts, including both client accounts and the firm’s own accounts.
Special rules apply to deposits related to real estate, if the real estate has been used for or is intended primarily for non-commercial purposes. In such cases, amounts up to EUR 10 million are covered for up to 12 months after the deposit was made, regardless of whether the deposit is held in a separate account. Further information about the guarantee scheme can be found on the Guarantee Fund’s website www.gii.dk.
