M&A in Denmark

Initiating and effecting a business transaction is an important decision. Yet despite the strategic importance of each deal, there is usually only a limited amount of time available to gain an understanding of the complicated processes.

We have considerable experience in a range of different types of transactions, from those involving the largest companies in Denmark to deals concerning small and medium-sized undertakings. We also have extensive experience in private equity transactions and takeovers. Read more about our assistance with takeovers.

Regardless of the type of business involved, our advice is always based on a legal, practical and commercial approach. Combined with our many years of experience, this approach means that we can assist clients in executing a successful transaction.
