Strauss-Khan lawyer Benjamin Brafman said they would defend the case "vigorously"
The former head of the International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Khan, has entered a plea of not guilty in a New York court to charges of attempted rape and sexual assault.
The 62-year-old Frenchman is accused of assaulting a maid at the Manhattan hotel where he was staying on 14 May.
The complainant's lawyer said outside court she "just wants justice".
Mr Strauss-Kahn's lawyer said there had been "no element of compulsion" in the incident between the two parties.
His next court date is set for 18 July.
The former finance chief - who faces up to 25 years in prison if found guilty - arrived at New York Supreme Court on Monday with his wife, the French television journalist Anne Sinclair.
