Consolidation of activities

We assist with implementing projects and establishing cooperation between public authorities and/or private organisations.

When consolidating activities in the public sector from several authorities/institutions to one, a number of practical and legal questions arise:

• where are the activities to be handled?
• which employees and expertise should be transferred?
• how to handle continuing contracts, existing leases etc.?
• what to do with any remaining institutions?
• how to ensure that the activities are transferred back in a proper and appropriate manner?

Although there are common elements in the consolidation of public activities, there will always be differences and particular issues to take into account and address.

There is much difference, for example, between the consolidation of activities in the construction, traffic and maritime areas. There is also much difference between the consolidation of municipal, regional and State activities. We know these differences and offer a customised solution.

We will involve all elements in our assistance so that employees, clients, contractual parties, stakeholders and other parties involved are considered at all stages. The outcome will be a model and a solution creating confidence and value.

The first step is to identify what to consolidate and with which entity. Then a model for the consolidation must be established and an appropriate process prepared as well as a legal quality check of all elements in the process.

We have advised on the consolidation of activities for many years and we combine our specialist knowledge of the public sector in Denmark with our expertise in company law, foundations law, administrative law, labour and employment law, municipal law, finance law, EU law, public procurement law and contract law.
