Our history

Lett Law Firm was created by the merger of Lett, Vilstrup & Partnere and Lett & Co. with effect from 1 January 2005. The following year, on 1 January 2006, around 20 new people from the law firm Norsker & Jacoby joined LETT.

Lett, Vilstrup & Partnere was founded in 1869 and is one of the oldest Danish law firms rich in tradition. Meanwhile, Lett & Co. was founded in 1988 and was one of Denmark’s youngest and leading law firms. The founders of Lett & Co. originally came from Lett, Vilstrup & Partnere.

Today, LETT is one of the leading law firms in Denmark.

The Greenland Cup

LETT’s history dates back to 1869. One of our historic treasures is the Greenland Cup.

The Greenland Cup was presented to LETT by the Danish Government in 1932 as a token of its appreciation of the achievements of Supreme Court Attorney Kristian Steglich-Petersen in the so-called East Greenland case. The case related to Norway’s claim on parts of East Greenland and the case was conducted by Mr Steglich-Petersen before the International Court of Justice in The Hague.
