Business, corporate and finance:

Business and corporations:

Our aim is to provide effective, value-creating advice. We have an innate understanding of companies' overall situations, including their operational circumstances, competitive conditions, strategies, financial situations and objectives.

When it comes to business transfers, we support buyers and sellers throughout the negotiation and contracting process. We draw on our extensive experience of transactions across a wide range of industries.

When there is a need for specialised knowledge in an area we do not cover, we coordinate the involvement of additional skills from our network.

We also have extensive experience in handling disputes involving companies, including liability issues for companies, boards and management within the ownership group, as well as conflicts between small, medium-sized and large companies, both in Denmark and internationally.

Construction and real estate

Real estate and construction are special, whether the property is intended as a family home, an investment, a company's new headquarters, or a development project in which the client is involved as a developer or contractor.

We provide advice on all aspects of real estate, including purchases and sales, developments, lettings (commercial and residential) and construction contracts.

We also have extensive experience in handling disputes relating to real estate, including cases concerning defects, tenancy law and construction contracts. We can represent you in civil courts, the Arbitration Board for Building and Construction or ad hoc arbitration.

We provide assistance when disputes escalate internally, during settlement negotiations, during mediation and during court and arbitration proceedings (including fast-track cases).

We handle disputes involving complex legal issues and cases with complicated business and technical issues. We also assist with fundamental lawsuits and cases concerning criminal and other public law liability. However, we also handle straightforward cases. We handle small and large claims, as well as cases where expert knowledge and evidence are crucial. We represent both plaintiffs and defendants.
