Code of Conduct
All Danish lawyers are subject to the legal ethics rules contained in the Danish Admini-stration of Justice Act (retsplejeloven). The General Council of the Danish Bar and Law Society supervises compliance with the code of legal ethics and has drawn up a Code of Conduct requiring lawyers to comply with high professional and ethical standards.
The Disciplinary Board of the Danish Bar and Law Society ensures compliance with the rules and may impose disciplinary sanctions in case of violation.
The ethical professional conduct rules include:
- Non-disclosure obligations: Lawyers and their employees are required to treat information received in the course of their work confidentially.
- Conflicts of interest rules: Circumstances of conflicting interests in which a lawyer may not assist a client.
More information about the Code of Conduct and the General Council is available on the Danish Bar and Law Society's website. More information about ethical professional conduct, rights to complain, etc. is available on the Disciplinary Board's website.
