Profile

Tom Kári Kristjánsson continuously conducts some of the biggest and most complex cases in Denmark. He is head of our Tax Law team and the number one Danish attorney litigating cases relating to taxes and duties, including VAT, customs duties and excise duties. His track record at the European Court of Justice is unique. No other Danish attorney has conducted and won so many EU cases.

A large number of these cases have been leading cases and have been conducted as test cases. The outcomes of the cases have resulted in Danish businesses, particularly in the financial sector, receiving amounts running into billions of Danish kroner.

In addition, Tom has extensive experience in conducting legal proceedings regarding consultants’ professional liability and D&O liability related to taxes and duties, and he also litigates a large number of criminal cases relating to taxes and duties.

Tom was the Managing Partner of Plesner from 2014-2021 and has previously been a member of Plesner's Board of Directors.
