It is a strong, public figure within financial regulation who has returned to the legal profession. Until 31 July 2023, Rigmor Ansdal was head of the legal division at the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority but joined Accura’s Banking & Finance Team as an associate partner in August, where she will be heading the regulatory team.
Rigmor brings her deep insight into financial regulation. As head of division at the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority, Rigmor has overseen legislative processes, such as the new Danish Insurance Business Act, and headed the management secretariat, which makes decisions in leading and important cases. Prior to her position as head of division, Rigmor was deputy head of division in the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority’s governance team, and, previously, she worked as an attorney at Danske Bank.
With many years’ experience of financial regulation in relation to supervision and as an attorney in the sector, Rigmor has a unique understanding of the complexity of financial regulation, especially in terms of the Danish Financial Business Act, on which she provides notes as a legislative editor at Karnov.
“I’ve been looking forward to beginning my journey with Accura and to bringing my knowledge of financial regulation into play from a commercial perspective,” says Rigmor Ansdal.
“For several years, Rigmor has been one of Denmark’s most prominent figures within financial regulation, which, combined with her very pleasant personality and large network, makes her an extraordinary resource in the area,” says Mads Kjellerup Dambæk, partner at Accura.
A warm welcome to Rigmor Ansdal, who will be based at the office in Nordhavn.
