Business Transfers and Due Diligence (M&A)

For many years, our M&A department has participated in a significant number of national and international mergers and acquisitions of small, medium-sized and large companies.

It is our objective to provide holistic advice in connection with the merger or acquisition, which includes initial preparations, negotiation and implementation of the transfer, as well as advising on and arranging the process. It is our experience that both the business advice and the legal advice on the merger or acquisition itself, as well as a keen management of the process, are crucial parameters for a successful business transfer.

A merger or acquisition typically involves many actors on both the buyer’s and seller’s side, such as accountants, corporate finance advisors, banks, etc. Our role is therefore – in addition to taking care of the legal aspects of a merger or acquisition – to steer and organise the process and communication with the many parties involved, thereby ensuring that the process runs as smoothly as possible.

Our M&A consultancy includes classic elements such as:

  • Buying and selling businesses

  • Mergers, demergers and reconstructions

  • Advice to venture companies, including joint ventures

  • Management buy-out

  • Advice on M&A in crisis situations, for example, bankruptcy and restructuring.

  • Planning and implementation of the transfer process, including the conducting of thorough due diligence

We have a significant network of foreign Attorneys and other advisors who assist us in connection with international mergers and acquisitions, or where the merger or acquisition includes subsidiaries or associates abroad.

Our clients include both Danish and international, industrial and financial companies, as well as venture companies and investment companies.
