Banking and Finance
Practice areaCompanies have a wide choice of possibilities of obtaining financing through traditional financing sources such as banks, new players such as credit funds, or through the issuance of bonds and other debt instruments on the global capital markets.
New financing enables companies to invest in research and development of technology, complete business-critical acquisitions or optimise existing capital structures for the benefit of the company and its stakeholders.
New products, trends and market players as well as an increasing degree of complexity in documentation and regulation also place heavy demands on market players and their advisers. Borrowers and lenders must be ready to embrace changes and must be able to navigate in a dynamic environment to find the best financing solutions – on the best terms.
Plesner's Financing team is our clients' preferred choice when they are concluding their largest and most important financing transactions – both in Denmark and globally, where we use our extensive international experience and sector knowledge. This applies regardless of whether financing is to be used for operation, acquisition of companies or real estate, development of renewables or the like.
Law is at the core of our advice. We have expertise in all phases and all legal aspects of financial transactions, and we have extensive experience with respect to innovative solutions tailored to our clients' requirements. We combine this with a deep understanding of our clients' business and the commercial reality in which they operate, and we collaborate closely with our colleagues in other practice areas, including M&A, Real Estate and Restructuring. We are proud to provide this solution to our clients, who will get the best legal and business advice – across strategies and sectors.
