International law
International law is multifaceted and multi-layered – it concerns not only the question of which country you can or must enforce your rights, but also according to which legal system, according to which material law the relationship is to be judged at all. Clarifying these questions at an early stage is essential for the successful handling of a legal matter.
As an internationally oriented law firm, we look after many clients in cases with an international dimension. We are presenting just one subject area here as an example:
International debt collection
Debt collection has meanwhile become an industry with a long tradition. As lawyers, due to our extensive training, we are allowed, along with other approved debt collection companies, to collect debts that are in default of payment out of court – and, if necessary, in court. We offer you, as our client, extensive consulting and support services. As an experienced service provider in receivables management, we help companies secure their liquidity and thus survive in the competition.
We advise you on pre-litigation solutions in order to avoid payment defaults, for example through installment payment agreements that are acceptable for both parties. Of course, we also advise on the prospects, costs and benefits, but also on the risks of legal proceedings, such as for example the (European) dunning procedure. In special constellations, however, the sale of the disputed claim is also an option. Sometimes you have to be quick: If a debitor threatens to move / conceal assets, you have to secure them against impending loss with pre-seizures, temporary account seizures, etc.

advokatfirma | meyer støtter Team Rynkeby som guldsponsor
Team Rynkeby is well known in Denmark, but since its foundation twenty years ago it has become a European project where charity cycling teams from several cities in Europe cycle from their home destination to Paris in the same week to watch the end of the Tour de France. The aim is to raise money for children’s cancer funds in each country. Today, the German juice group Eckes-Granini with its three brands Rynkeby, Go Morgen and hohes C is behind the project. Today, Team Rynkeby consists of 2,400 exercise cyclists and 550 volunteers in 59 local teams from Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Germany and Switzerland. In July 2022, for the first time, a team of 30 cyclists, including lawyer Hans-Oluf Meyer, will cycle about 1,200 km from Berlin to Paris within a week to meet the other teams. 2022 will be a special year for the Danish participants, since the Tour de France starts in Denmark. In 2020, Team Rynkeby could give € 8.79 million to organisations helping children with critical illnesses. Of this, € 152,749 went to the German Children’s Cancer Foundation. Since 2002, the cycling teams have cycled and raised more than € 75 million.
