They are very specialised within construction law and especially construction law disputes. Due to the size of their construction law practice (the number of lawyers), they have big strength in depth. The level of service and alertness is extremely high combined with strong theoretical knowledge and a pragmatic approach.

The firm’s construction disputes team is one of the best in Denmark. In quality as well as in quantity.

Peter Dianati is exceptionally hard-working and very knowledgeable within construction disputes. I regard him as the best within this field.

They have the right size, big enough to handle everything, and small enough to be directly involved in our business. They give value-for-money advice and especially in terms of disputes, the unique thing is that they tell us directly whether or not to pursue a dispute.

Their construction law dispute team is second to none and absolutely top notch in Denmark.

Peter Dianati’s team in particular is second to none in regards to construction law because of the huge knowledge, client attention and availability.

Peter Dianati is one of the most skilled construction law arbitrators in Denmark if not the best. As well as being very skilled and theoretically extremely knowledgeable within construction law, he is also pragmatic, solution-oriented and a good colleague. However, he can also be very tough and a warrior when a situation calls upon that. In a construction dispute, you would want him in your corner.
