Jacob Høeg Madsen

Jacob assists clients in the financial sector with advice on transactions and a wide variety of regulatory matters. His specialist skills - which date back from before the financial crisis - and deep sector-specific knowledge make him a valuable resource for clients seeking advice on assets management, marketing and management of investment funds (both UCITS and AIFs), payment services, pension and life insurance services, fintech and ESG. Following the tightening of the fit & proper requirements, Jacob has represented clients in their fit & proper dialogue with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.

He has over the years helped a broad range of institutional investors and family offices in connection with their investments in private equity funds, venture capital funds and other alternative investment funds domestically as well as internationally (e.g., funds domiciled in Luxembourg, the USA, South East Asia, the Channel Islands, etc.).

Jacob’s broad client base includes an increasing number of sponsors and managers seeking to establish capital funds in different asset classes (buy-out, venture, infrastructure and real estate). Clients benefit from his profound knowledge of institutional investors’ needs and preferences and of financial regulation in this respect.

The growth in alternative investments over the last 10 years has made Jacob a highly trusted adviser to Danish investors looking into infrastructure investments and other alternative investments, particularly abroad. 

In the M&A field, Jacob’s focus is on transactions involving financial undertakings, but he also assists in transfers of non-regulated businesses. He has a proven track record of successfully completing business transfers, acting regularly both for institutional (e.g. equity funds) and industrial buyers and for sellers in national and cross-border transactions. 

Clients particularly value his attentiveness to their specific needs. Jacob seeks to create value for his clients by combining strong specialist skill and sector-specific knowledge with a practical and commercial approach.
