M&A
Practice areaM&A transactions are critical for all types of businesses at various stages of their journey, as they can, if done correctly, drive growth and innovation, create jobs, and advance technology and infrastructure for the benefit of all involved stakeholders, including society in general.
We understand what's at stake for our clients and pride ourselves on guiding them through complex processes, balancing commercial interests with legal expertise and a pro-active problem-solving approach. This requires extensive knowledge, experience, and a strong focus on teamwork.
Building long-term relationships with our clients is our primary focus, ensuring that our advice consistently aligns with their best interests. Our commitment to understanding their unique needs allows us to provide solutions that drive optimal value and success in every transaction.
Our initial focus on private equity in the Danish market has provided us with a unique network that includes not only private equity clients in Denmark, Scandinavia, and abroad, but also their advisors, including investment bankers, financial or commercial advisors, and other legal professionals. We cherish this network and have often found that the personal relations have been instrumental in moving a deal forward, both for private equity clients as well as for our industrial and strategic clients. By leveraging our team of best-in-class specialists covering all relevant legal practice areas, we provide comprehensive and tailored advice that maximises value for our clients. We believe that our top ratings from international agencies such as The Legal 500, Chambers, and the International Financial Law Review attest to our high standards.
Our employees all work under one roof in Copenhagen, allowing us to seamlessly integrate our skills and work closely together. Regardless of the specialist needed for the issue at hand, this ensures that the best team is involved in every aspect of a transaction.
We take pride in our international experience, with many of our partners and senior attorneys having studied and/or worked abroad. This global perspective and our strong experience in cross-border transactions enhance our ability to manage international transactions effectively.
