Corporate Compliance and Regulatory Advisory

The evolving geopolitical dynamics have demonstrated the importance of national security, introducing new challenges for commerce and interstate trade and demanding a keen understanding of corporate compliance and regulatory requirements.

As suppliers increasingly consider engagements with the Danish defence, other public authorities, or Danish entities operating in sensitive sectors, the impact of these regulations has become key. Navigating this complex terrain requires awareness that extends beyond traditional legal considerations.

Our team of experts assist Danish and foreign clients in planning a successful strategy for navigating the complex legal terrain in the Danish defence sector and abroad.

Our advice

We have a well-established corporate compliance practice which assists i.a. on FDI regulation, the special rules on manufacture, import and export of arms and war material, and public sector and government interactions, including anti-bribery and good government practices and business ethics.

FDI: Contracting with the Danish Defence or Danish entities operating in sensitive sectors requires knowledge of the complex rules on foreign direct investments (FDI). The rules, which aim to safeguard national security, apply to foreign investments and certain so-called "special financial agreements" within particularly sensitive sectors, including the defence sector, IT security functions, dual-use products, other critical technology, and critical infrastructure.
Our corporate compliance practice helps our clients understand the FDI regulations. We ensure that investments and agreements are in line with the applicable regulatory frameworks.
Arms and war material regulations: Our experts guide businesses involved in the manufacture, import, and export of arms and war material through the complex regulatory landscape.
Public sector and government interactions: Our team offers guidance on interactions with public sector and government entities. From anti-bribery measures to promoting good governance practices and ethical business conduct, we assist clients in maintaining integrity in their dealings.
Sanctions and export control advice: Understanding and complying with international sanctions and export control regimes is crucial in the defence industry, as the consequences of non-compliance can be severe. Our experts offer advisory services to ensure that your business operations are not affected by sanctions and export control regimes. We provide insights into the latest developments and corporate compliance best practices to help you mitigate risks and stay compliant.
