Business transfers within technology

As technology and licensing become increasingly important for many businesses, buying and selling technology or media businesses has become significantly more complicated by the existence of underlying technology or licensing contracts. The result is that industry insight and market knowledge have become critical factors in creating effective and value-adding deals for business transfers and investments within technology.

Having been involved in a large number of venture capital investments and medium and small-sized business acquisitions, as well as almost every major transaction in the technology industry for the past few years, we have expertise in all aspects of the transaction process - from preparation to completion. We advise both buyers and sellers of businesses of all sizes located in Denmark and abroad, as well as investors, banks and other business transfer financiers.

Our assistance is always based on respect for the parties' unique characteristics, goals and needs. By combining our legal knowledge with experience and industry knowledge gained through many years of working in this specialist area, we are able to identify potential risk areas specifically concerning the target business and suggest appropriate solutions, thereby contributing to an effective and value-adding process.

We can assist with:

  • trimming the business for a sale (adjustment of group structure etc.) 
  • identifying outside circumstances that may affect the transfer or investment 
  • choosing the transaction structure 
  • structuring the transaction process 
  • drafting documents that will later form the basis for the transaction (e.g. non-disclosure agreements, letters of intent, due diligence reports, guarantee catalogues, etc.) 
  • performing due diligence and arranging physical and virtual data rooms
  • reflecting the due diligence findings in the business transfer or investment agreement
  • drafting and negotiating contracts 
  • preparing and reviewing licensing agreements 
  • integrating the target business into the buyer's organisation
  • transitional service agreements 
  • separation and implementation of the transferring entity's IT systems

We also offer assistance from our Project Centre, which has extensive experience in project management and with establishing and controlling physical and virtual data rooms.
