We bring justice to travelers!
Digital technologies are transforming the legal services market, and we are at the forefront of this revolution. As a part of Flightright, the pioneer of IT-based legal services in Germany, Flyhjælp combines innovation with legal expertise to deliver justice to travelers. Since 2010, more than 11 million consumers worldwide have benefited from our services. Together with our parent company, we are the global leader in passenger rights and aim to reach even greater heights as we expand internationally.
At Flyhjælp, our Litigation Department takes legal tech to the courtroom. We handle cases against airlines in Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish courts, representing our customers’ rights with a strong focus on results. From preparing legal pleadings to enforcing judgments, we ensure that air passengers are compensated fairly under EU Regulation 261/2004.
The Finnish market is our newest but fastest-growing market, presenting an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to play a key role in shaping our future success in Finland. Currently, our Finnish team consists of one dedicated colleague, who collaborates closely with our Swedish team of five people. We’re now looking to expand the Finnish team with a passionate and skilled Finnish-speaking Legal Expert to strengthen our presence in this promising market.
We welcome applications from candidates based in Finland, with the possibility to work fully remote. If you speak Swedish as well as Finnish, that’s a big plus!
With a team of 50 employees at Flyhjælp, including 16 dedicated colleagues in the litigation department, we are proud of our diverse professional backgrounds and strong team spirit. Based in Copenhagen, we operate in a Nordic and international environment, collaborating closely with colleagues in Berlin, Budapest, and Kyiv.
