NJORD Law Firm receives an award for efforts against digital offences

”NJORD Law Firm has with its extraordinary strong efforts against digital offences demonstrated that attorneys can make a great positive difference when it comes to this big social problem of current interest. That a law firm supports the association Digitalt Ansvar and with pro bono work assists more than 30 digitally offended persons shows great social responsibility, which is exactly in the spirit of the Association of Danish Law Firms. Furthermore, NJORD Law Firm has managed to heavily influence the legislation in this field"

”We are very proud to receive this award. The award proves that the industry supports the project. It is also an acknowledgement of the offended parties. It reminds us that our work is not just about bottom-line figures, but it actually makes a great difference to our clients. We have to engage in social responsibility, and we are in a position where we can help solving a societal problem by helping the offended parties to obtain justice. This is precisely what attorneys are supposed to do. Help the ones who need it.”

”It is very simple – we cannot sit back and watch while people are being bullied, harassed and blackmailed because offensive photos and videos of them are being shared without their consent. The law is clear – it is illegal, and it seriously affects the victims. The case handling must reflect this,”

”I am so proud of how far we have come. This award is an important recognition. Especially of all those who are part of this effort. Many thanks to my team of assistant attorneys and students, which every day assists me in preserving evidence and removing illegal material. Many thanks to the association Digitalt Ansvar, where organizations such as Save the Children, Børns Vilkår, the Danish Family Planning Association, the Danish Women’s Society, KVINFO, Victim Support Denmark, etc. contribute with vital professional knowledge and dissemination of the message, and many thanks to the cooperative Minister for Justice and the Minister for Equal Opportunities. And not least, many thanks to my workplace, NJORD Law Firm, which from the beginning supported me with a massive amount of pro bono work and an exceptional company culture, where social responsibility, respect and justice are core values. Without you, this project would not be possible.”

”At NJORD Law Firm, respect is a core value. Respect is to take responsibility for your actions and for each other. Therefore, it is important for us to engage in social responsibility. With the law behind us and based on our professional knowledge and strengths as attorneys, we have to take on social responsibility to ensure that the legislation works both in the digital universe and in parallel to the real world in a legal community such as ours.”
