Practice Areas

Jacob Høeg Madsen specialises in financial regulation, fund formation, other alternative investments and M&A.

Jacob assists clients in the financial sector with advice on transactions and a wide variety of regulatory matters. His specialist skills - which date back from before the financial crisis - and deep sector-specific knowledge make him a valuable resource for clients seeking advice on assets management, marketing and management of investment funds (both UCITS and AIFs), payment services, pension and life insurance services, fintech and ESG. Following the tightening of the fit & proper requirements, Jacob has represented clients in their fit & proper dialogue with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.

Jacob’s broad client base includes an increasing number of sponsors and managers seeking to form capital funds across different asset classes (e.g. buy-out, venture, infrastructure and real estate). In providing this advice, he combines his profound knowledge of institutional investors' needs, his experience with long and complex contracts, and his insight into financial regulation for the benefit of his clients. When selling GP stakes, establishing continuation vehicles and secondary transactions, he combines his expertise in alternative investment funds with his M&A experience.

He has over the years helped a broad range of institutional investors and family offices in connection with their investments in private equity funds, venture capital funds and other alternative investment funds across borders (Denmark, Luxembourg, the USA, South East Asia, the Channel Islands, etc.).

The growth in alternative investments over the last years has made Jacob a highly trusted adviser to Danish investors looking into infrastructure investments and other alternative investments, particularly abroad.

In the M&A field, Jacob’s focus is primarily on transactions involving financial undertakings (particularly asset managers and banks).

Clients value Jacob's attentiveness to their specific needs. Jacob seeks to create value for his clients by combining strong specialist skill and sector-specific knowledge with a practical and commercial approach.
