Attorly for Danish law: what is covered in Denmark

Last updated:

Short answer

Yes. Attorly covers Danish law with jurisdiction-specific review context, and its legal research reads Retsinformation and EUR-Lex (EU law). Contracts are drafted in Danish by default, and the interface is available in Danish. In the latest published statute-retrieval benchmark, Attorly found the governing statute in 9 of 9 tasks for Denmark.

What the contract review checks under Danish law

When the Word add-in reviews a contract governed by Danish law, the model is given these jurisdiction notes, quoted here exactly as the product uses them:

Key references: Aftaleloven (the Contracts Act), including the §36 general unreasonableness rule, and Købeloven / Forbrugeraftaleloven for sales and consumer contracts. Clauses that deviate from mandatory consumer protections in Forbrugeraftaleloven are void to the extent they disadvantage the consumer. Danish drafting convention is lean and purpose-driven; flag one-sided limitation-of-liability and indemnification clauses that would fail the §36 reasonableness test.

The notes steer what the review looks for. They are not a complete statement of the law, and the model still has to read the contract.

Who it fits, and who it does not

Best for:

  • Reviewing and drafting contracts governed by Danish law, with context for its legal tradition and default drafting language.
  • Research questions answered from Retsinformation, with citations to the sources each answer relies on.
  • Cross-border work that also turns on EU law, which research reads from EUR-Lex alongside the national sources.

Not the best fit for:

  • Relying on an answer without opening its sources: in the latest answer benchmark, 3 of 8 answers on Danish law contained a wrong or mis-cited claim.
  • Decisions that need a lawyer’s sign-off. Attorly gives legal information, not legal advice; a qualified lawyer should check anything you rely on.
