Why do American contracts feel so hard to read?
A common complaint is that American contracts are far too long and written in complicated language that is impossible to understand. This is a fair observation — the American contract-writing tradition often produces documents longer than what Danish business people, and even Danish jurists and lawyers, are used to. Even strong English speakers frequently find the specific legal vocabulary used in American contracts unfamiliar.
Who helps Danish companies navigate this?
Rosenfalck & Thorup's US qualified lawyers have more than 20 years of experience advising Danish companies on American contracts. That work covers drafting new contracts, reviewing and adjusting contracts presented by an American counterparty, and negotiating directly with that counterparty — often their legal department — so the client ends up with a result they are comfortable with and can actually understand.
What is the goal of the process?
The aim is not simply to translate American legal language, but to make sure the final contract reflects terms the client genuinely understands and accepts, negotiated by someone fluent in both the language and the underlying legal system.
