Information

Help us hold airlines accountable and shape air passenger rights in Denmark.

Flyhjælp is looking for a Danish-speaking Legal Expert to join our litigation team. Together with our parent company Flightright in Berlin, we help travelers claim compensation from airlines under EU Regulation 261/2004 when their flights are delayed, cancelled, or overbooked. Since 2010, more than 11 million people have used our services.

We specialize in the Nordic jurisdictions under our brands:

FLYHJÆLP | FLYGHJÄLP | FLYHJELP | LENTOAPU

… and we have our very own litigation department that handles cases in the Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish courts. We take cases all the way to the Supreme Court or the European Court of Justice if necessary.

We have an ambition to be the best and biggest in the Nordics on air passenger rights.

About the role
This position is ideal for someone who wants hands-on litigation experience and is confident managing court cases independently. You’ll take ownership of mainly Danish appeals cases, and principal cases from start to finish, including strategy, pleadings, and court appearances (approx. 5–8 per year). You’ll also monitor key case law developments in Denmark and keep the litigation leadership informed.
You will not be handling administrative enforcement (e.g. fogedret), but will focus on legal content, case strategy, and court processes. In the litigation department, you will gain insight into legal method and civil procedure, learn about evidence theory, and how to write short and precise texts.

You will become an expert on air passenger rights!
Expected start date is 1 September 2025.

Assessing and managing appeal and principal cases in Danish courts
Preparing pleadings and legal arguments in court
Representing the company in court (oral hearings in person)

Your profile

A law degree or equivalent
Previous litigation experience is not required, but a genuine interest in litigation and court work is essential
Strong analytical and written skills, and emotional intelligence
Speaks and writes Danish at a native or near-native professional level
Speaks and writes English, as our company language is English
Confidence in handling legal matters independently and responsibly
Ability to translate legal issues into clear, concise arguments
Not afraid to explore new technologies.
Prefer freedom under responsibility.
Is interested in work life balance.
Wants to grow and have fun.
Has a can-do attitude, which is motivating for colleagues and air passengers.

A role with real legal responsibility - and the opportunity to shape case law
Regular court appearances and work with high-impact litigation
A close-knit and supportive team
A flexible workplace - join us in our Copenhagen office, work from home up to two times per week, or work remotely up to 25 days per year

The litigation department currently consists of 23 colleagues, who work full-time or
part-time and who come from legal and non-legal backgrounds.

We are based in Copenhagen, but we are a Nordic and international workplace with colleagues from all over who speak English, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Polish, Russian, Serbian, German, Spanish, French, and many more languages. Our company language is English and through our parent company, Flightright, we have colleagues located in Berlin, Budapest, Egypt, Kyiv, and many more places.
