The core of Christian's advice is a combination of thorough legal knowledge, insight into Danish and international market practice, and the ability to harmonise these elements within the context of commercial requirements.  

Christian has advised on a number of cases which have decisively influenced company and capital markets regulation in Denmark. Christian is one of the few Danish lawyers with experience in capital markets law who act for client's in public authorities' administration of rules and prosecution of alleged violations.
