Who is Gunnar?
Divorce Lawyer / Family law attorney
Gunnar has been with the company Per Bruhn Advokater since 2010, and it is a prerequisite for Gunnar to be that kind of a divorce lawyer that divorce lawyers most often are not.
For Gunnar, it is essential always to look at what benefits the involved children the most, so that they are not ‘squeezed’ in their parents’ conflict.
Of course, this mainly goes for the smaller children, but one should not forget, that even soon-to-be grown up children normally are under pressure by their parents’ divorce when for instance division of assets is being made. For this reason, Gunnar emphasizes the importance of doing everything possible not to escalate the conflict between the parties.
Gunnar is not a psychologist, but over the years he has accumulated in-depth knowledge of psychological violence and various personality disorders, including narcissism, borderline etc. However, Gunnar is aware that parties in a divorce may be under so much pressure that they may have a behavior similar to that of a person with personality disorder, but instead this may represent ‘only’ a crisis and grief process.

Satellite office in Aarhus
As of 1 August 2026, a satellite office of our firm will open in Aarhus (postcode 8000).
This will make things easier for our clients in Jutland, as travel time to the various family courts and offices of the Agency of Family Law (‘Familieretshuset’) across the region will be reduced.
Meetings can therefore also be arranged at our office on Ny Munkegade, where Gunnar will be based several days a week

Philanthropy is important to Gunnar and for this reason he has in more occassions on a regular basis offered free counseling for battered women at a crisis center.
Since the beginning of the Covid 19 pandemic, Gunnar has had an informal collaboration with the Danish Women’s Society, ‘Dansk Kvindesamfund’, and in the autumn of 2021 he started a collaboration with the Danish NGO, ‘Exitcirklen’, which helps mainly women, but also men who have been or are exposed to psychological violence.
Since December 2022, Gunnar has been a member of the board of one of the largest women’s crisis centers /shelters in Denmark, Bella Vista Krisecenter.
After several years abroad, Gunnar speaks and writes English, French and German; legal advice however, is based on Danish law with in-depth knowledge of international private law.
Gunnar offers assistance to Danes moving back to Denmark or foreigners in the need of legal assistance when divorcing in Denmark.

In his spare time…
Gunnar takes pride in always being there for his clients, and he therefore likes to say that he is never on holiday – and always on holiday at the same time.
That said, in his spare time Gunnar relaxes best with a chainsaw in hand at his summer house in Odsherred, on hiking trips through the Swedish forests, or on the beach in Gran Canaria, where his family shares a small apartment.
