We have taken out professional liability insurance and have provided a guarantee in accordance with Danish Bar Rules. The insurance covers legal assistance rendered by us, irrespective of where such assistance is provided. The partners and staff who are not licensed to practise law are also covered by our liability insurance. The name and contact details of our primary insurer is Codan Forsikring A/S, Midtermolen 7, 2100 Copenhagen O, Denmark, business reg. no. 10 52 69 49.
Bird & Bird Advokatpartnerselskab has its client account facilities in Jyske Bank. We are not responsible for the solvency of the bank. Deposits on a Danish law firm's client account are no longer guaranteed and are thus subject to the same rules as ordinary bank accounts with a maximum coverage of EUR 100,000 per client. The maximum coverage is calculated on the basis of each individual bank per client and encompasses the client's deposits in its own bank accounts, in separate client accounts and in the client pooling account.
