Søren is a partner and co-owner at IUNO Law Firm, where he co-heads the firm’s dedicated Employment Law department—one of the largest stand-alone employment teams in Denmark, with seven specialist lawyers.

As part of IUNO’s HR Legal team, Søren advises Danish and international companies across a broad range of industries on matters including compensation and benefits, particularly in the context of equity-based incentives. His work includes providing strategic advice on the structuring of share plans, stock options, and bonuses, ensuring these incentive schemes are both legally compliant and aligned with business objectives. He also advises on broader employee benefits, business transfers, disputes, and internal investigations, with a focus on ensuring that incentive programs are effectively integrated into the overall employment framework. He also has a strong focus on workplace well-being, advising on issues such as harassment, discrimination, and misconduct.

Søren has extensive experience in both court and arbitration proceedings and leads IUNO’s business litigation team.

In addition to his role at IUNO, Søren serves as Chairman of the Board for Solvita A/S and Danish Business Lights A/S, and sits on the board of IUNO Law Firm. He is also a member of the GEO Nordic Chapter Steering Committee and has been actively involved with GEO for nearly a decade.

Søren brings to the GEO Board a deep understanding of employment law and share-based remuneration in the Nordic region, with a specific focus on bonuses, share plans, and other incentive mechanisms. With over two decades of experience in this field, Søren has worked closely with companies to design, implement, and refine incentive programs that attract, retain, and motivate talent. His passion for equity compensation, paired with his practical experience as a legal adviser and business leader, makes him a strong asset to GEO’s mission.
