Real estate

We assist with the sale, purchase, leasing, development and finance of commercial real estate, including due diligence, drafting and negotiation of contracts etc. Furthermore, we advise on all other aspects of real estate, e.g. the drafting of articles of association for homeowner associations, regulation of easements, rental and road matters, etc.

In addition we have comprehensive experience with foreclosure sales of real property representing both insolvency estates or mortgagees selling real property at foreclosure sales or representing investors who need assistance buying real property at such foreclosure sales.

We have comprehensive experience with commercial lease law and we draft commercial lease agreements for our clients. We also deal with all aspects of
lease disputes, including rental regulation and termination.

Bankruptcy and insolvency

We are insolvency law specialists and we have in-depth experience with all types of insolvency law advice, including bankruptcy and reconstruction.

If your company is faced with a claim that cannot be paid, or continued business of the company is no longer possible/responsible, we can assist in making a bankruptcy petition, so that the company is declared bankrupt by the bankruptcy court. It is free of charge to file a self-petition for bankruptcy.

As management, you must be aware that you may be obliged to cease business operations and arrange for the liquidation of the company if it is hopeless to continue operations, and you may risk liability to creditors who suffer further losses if operations are continued, and the management may also risk a bankruptcy quarantine if you are considered to have participated in grossly irresponsible business conduct in the company.

We can also assist with filing a bankruptcy petition against a debtor if your company has a claim and the debtor is unable to pay (insolvent). A court fee of DKK 1,500 must be paid and a security for the costs of handling the bankruptcy estate must be provided. It is the bankruptcy court that determines the security amount of either DKK 30,000 or DKK 40,000 (in the area of ​​the Maritime and Commercial Court). If it turns out that there are funds in the bankruptcy estate to cover the costs of handling the estate, the security will be refunded in whole or in part.

If you are an employee and have a salary claim against a company where you are/have been employed, you do not have to provide security for the handling of the estate.

Our lawyers have extensive experience as trustees in bankrupt estates, and are members of Gældsstyrelsens panel of trustees and the association of Danish Insolvency Lawyers (Danske Insolvensadvokater).

Corporate law

We have detailed experience with general corporate and commercial law, including drafting and reviewing contracts, employment law and regular sparring about business operations.

We provide specialist advice to businesses of varying size and within all industries and we act on the resolution of all aspects of corporate law, including incorporation and registration of all types of companies, drafting of shareholders and investors agreements, and the transfer of ownership and the transition from one generation to the next.

We have comprehensive experience with mergers & acquisitions providing legal advice and participating in negotiations, including mergers & acquisitions related to corporate restructuring and insolvency estates.

Litigation and dispute resolution

Within all of our core practice areas the matters can result in a conflict or dispute with the opponent party.

For a client, litigation is rarely the most optimal solution for a conflict. Accordingly, we always endeavor to reach a solution that provides the best value for our clients. We have extensive experience with negotiations and dispute resolution.

Unfortunately, not all conflicts can be resolved through negotiations and therefore we also represent our clients before the courts. We have comprehensive
experience with the court system, including injunctions, forfeiture, arrest and civil litigation before the ordinary and the high courts. Furthermore, we have experience with negotiations and resolution of disputes related to contract law, including advising and handling disputes under the insolvency/bankruptcy of contractors.
