This Practice Note contains a jurisdiction-specific Q&A guide to labour and employment in Denmark published as part of the Lexology Getting the Deal Through series by Law Business Research (published: September 2022). Authors: Norrbom Vinding—Yvonne Frederiksen 1. What are the main statutes and regulations relating to employment?
