For the few who need a personal lawyer
The legal profession has a problem. But it does not have to become yours.
During the past 30 years, lawyers have developed themselves from being legal advisors to becoming professional business people.
​
One will find many good reasons for this – and this has been the basis for many very large law firms.
​
However, there are still people who need more personal legal advice. People who have businesses and issues that require a different and deeper commitment. Who may not need a full time employed internal lawyer. But, on the other hand, do not have the time to meet with more lawyers.
​
This is where Rohde Associates comes into the picture.
​
The services are simple. A lawyer who has one-three clients only.
With all the accessibility, attention, and personality that comes with it.
Rohde Associates cannot replace a large law firm but can coordinate and execute complex transactions with many parties and lawyers.
Having broad experience in Danish and International business, and having acted as a close advisor for a large family-owned business, Mikkel Rohde is qualified for high-level strategy and business development.
But it is his personal legal advice, integrity, and dedication which is the product. There are no other employees. There is no plan for a bigger business.
That is why “associates” in the business name is not about the number of employees, but about the Cambridge Dictionary definition:
​
ASSOCIATE
noun [C] (FRIEND)
​
someone who is closely connected to another person as a companion, friend, or business partner.
Commercial Mindset
10 years of practice with leading law firms. 15 years as in-house counsel with A.P. Møller-Mærsk A/S and a large family-owned business in Switzerland.
Dedication
Works with 1-3 clients at a time only -e.g. family offices, funds, and businesses that do not have a need for a full-time internal lawyer, but do wish for quality, accessibility, continuity, and discretion.
Experience
Broad and International experience in solving most legal challenges – and when required coordinating work with partners paying the same attention to quality, costs, and discretion.
Continuity
Remuneration is based on a retainer agreement based on each client’s individual needs and with flexible adjustment of the number of hours.
