Capital Markets
Practice areaAt Plesner, we leverage our extensive experience in Danish and international capital markets to facilitate complex and groundbreaking transactions that underpin business growth and investor confidence.
Our role as one of the absolute preferred teams in the Danish equity and debt capital markets enables us to guide companies and investors through transactions with certainty. Whether advising on IPOs, public M&A, bond, or equity issues, our insight ensures compliance and strategic advantage, coupled with a firm focus to ensure that clients achieve their commercial objectives.
Our recommendations include listings on Nasdaq Copenhagen, Nasdaq First North Growth Market Denmark, and public M&A transactions.
We work with Danish and foreign markets, such as NASDAQ New York and the London Stock Exchange. We help Danish businesses navigate these platforms.
Our collaboration with leading firms in London, New York, and the Nordics, along with the international experience of our partners, bolsters our expertise. This global perspective enhances our ability to provide nuanced advice that meets the highest standards of international capital markets.
We cater to a diverse clientele, including listed Danish companies and international investors. Our services cover all areas of capital markets law, from public M&A, IPOs, and hybrid bonds to private placements and PIPE transactions.
In dual-track processes, where companies explore IPOs alongside M&A opportunities, our dedicated teams ensure seamless and specialised support. This approach maximises client value and supports strategic decision-making in dynamic market environments.
