Corporate Law

Corporate law forms the legislative foundation on which Danish companies operate. This applies whether it's a joint-stock company, partnership, limited liability company, or entities like limited partnerships or joint ventures.

Corporate law sets forth the basic rules for a company's inception, its life, and ultimately its dissolution, ensuring that transactions occur with due consideration of various stakeholders' interests. These fundamental rules help build trust in Danish companies, making it attractive for both domestic and foreign companies to establish, operate, and invest in businesses in Denmark.

Moreover, certain types of companies are subject to specific requirements due to their nature, including listed companies, financial institutions, and state-owned enterprises.

Corporate law in Denmark is significantly influenced by international regulations, especially EU regulations, resulting in an increasingly complex regulatory landscape.

It's also evident that external expectations of Danish companies and their conduct are steadily rising, reflected through new regulations.

At Plesner, we assist in understanding and complying with Danish corporate law regulations and devise solutions to complex issues, ensuring that corporate law doesn't hinder but supports commercially sound transactions. We often collaborate with colleagues from other specialized areas, as corporate law, due to its foundational nature, interacts with many other legal domains.
