Our clients act in a globalised world and so do we.
As one of Denmark’s largest law firms we have been working with cross-border matters for many years. We have close and strong relations with leading law firms throughout the world, and we are constantly developing and expanding such relations in order to provide seamless services to our clients in cross-border matters.
We are an independent law firm and free to choose the best match of international partners for – or together with – our clients in each matter. We evaluate and consolidate our relations and experience with international partners on an ongoing basis and consult internally across the firm to find the best match for each matter.
We have many years of experience dealing with cross-border matters, and we have a structured and quality-oriented approach to setting and managing a cross-border team. We understand the importance of structuring and consolidating input from various jurisdictions into one well-structured and to-the-point product for our clients.
In addition, many of our lawyers have been working in jurisdictions outside of Denmark and have great understanding of both international law practice and how to proactively mitigate and manage inherent cultural differences.
To ensure that clients and international partners receive the best possible service, we have established an International Committee led by Carina Vang Kristoffersen and Mathias Juul Holter, who you are always welcome to contact in cross-border matters.
Carina is a highly regarded M&A advisor with substantial international experience. Carina advises on all aspects of Danish and international M&A deals and investments, including in relation to deal structuring, due diligence and negotiation of transactional documentation.
