Social cohesion

We have a specifically tailored programme for new assistant attorneys and commercial law associates, social committees focused on sports and other activities run by employees, celebration of admissions to the bar and other milestones and much more. Strong social cohesion is a key priority at Bruun & Hjejle, because we want our employees to thrive professionally as well as socially. 

At Bruun & Hjejle, we interact with one another both professionally and socially. Everybody knows everybody, and we feel this has a positive impact in all collaborative contexts. Our cohesion is further strengthened through professional and social events for the entire firm as well as for the individual departments and employee groups.

Staff committees

Bruun & Hjejle has a number of staff committees supporting social cohesion. The B&H Sports club and the B&H Football club are among some of our more physically active clubs. B&H Sports organises sporting activities for every taste. For example, we have had badminton, paddle tennis, climbing, obstacle race, e-sport and cycling events. B&H Football is a club for our football enthusiasts. B&H Football participates in the prestigious football tournament for the legal profession, and our team enjoys strong support from the rest of the organisation when the big law firms go up against one another on the football field.  

Our more festive committees include a Social Events committee and a Friday Bar committee. The Social Events committee organises a couple of Bruun & Hjejle’s traditional parties, including the summer party in August and the New Year’s party in January, which many employees look forward to with great anticipation every year. The Friday Bar committee creates a cheerful setting for about five events a year with themes such as Oktoberfest, Quiz & Drinks and Exotic Friday Bar. Finally, we have an Activities committee, which is in charge of organising all manner of alternative events, including trapshooting, outdoor theatre, cinema trip and paintball. 

In addition to the committee events organised and run by employees, we participate in the annual DHL relay race, at which employees across the organisation meet to run a leg or walk in a relay race and hang out with each other after finishing. There is generally really good support for the DHL relay race, and our amazing kitchen team makes sure we do not go thirsty or hungry.

Admissions to the bar

It is hard not to get just a little bit excited when our assistant attorneys are admitted to the bar. At Bruun & Hjejle, we mark the occasion by hosting a festive event at Bruun & Hjejle for family, friends and colleagues. 

Great efforts for students, assistant attorneys and commercial law associates

At Bruun & Hjejle, we think it is important to make great efforts for our many assistant attorneys, commercial law associates and students, for instance by offering initiatives, clubs and events that support social cohesion. Launch is one of the many initiatives ensuring that the assistant attorneys and commercial law associates get off to a good start, both professionally and socially. Learn more about Launch here. In addition, the assistant attorneys, commercial law associates and students have their own social committees, which organise parties for the students and for the assistant attorneys/commercial law associates, respectively.
