Food technology

The demand for food is expected to increase markedly over the coming years and create pressure to increase strain resource efficiency and technological development. The regulation of food safety, technical compliance and the internationalisation of businesses will similarly intensify. Such factors influence the operation of food technology businesses and how contracts should be worded, on both the supply and delivery side. This applies irrespective of whether products are supplied to neighbouring markets or on a global scale.

We have in-depth experience with the Danish, EU and international rules in this area, which means that our team of specialists across various business law areas is well-equipped to advise all types of food technology business.

Thus, we assist large and small entities in the supplying of production and processing equipment for food processing, filleting/sorting, weighing, cooling/freezing, and packing equipment and related businesses.
