Ørsted
We have advised the underwriters in connection with Ørsted’s recently launched rights issue.

We have advised Global Auto Holdings Limited, a leading global auto retailer, on the acquisitions of K.W. Bruun Import A/S and K.W. Bruun NxT A/S, including the acquisition financing hereof.

We have advised the sellers, represented by majority shareholder CVC Growth Funds, on the sale of Omada to GRO and Kirk Kapital.
Omada is a global leader in Identity Governance and Administration (IGA) software, playing a critical role in helping organizations protect sensitive data and achieve compliance in an increasingly complex digital landscape.

We have advised Axcel and its portfolio company, the Elcor Group, on the acquisition of the Danish switchboard manufacturer Titech Electric A/S, which now becomes part of the Elcor Group.
With the addition of Titech Electric, the Elcor Group now comprises six Nordic companies, more than 1,000 employees and 14 locations across five countries.
The Fehmarnbelt link
We are legal adviser to three of the four consortia having contracted with Femern A/S to carry out the largest construction project in the history of Denmark: The Fehmarnbelt link between Denmark and Germany.
The 18-kilometre-long Fehmarnbelt tunnel to connect Rødbyhavn on Lolland in Denmark with the German island of Fehmarn will be the world’s longest immersed road and rail tunnel.
CapMan
We have advised CapMan on the acquisition and financing of a hotel portfolio from Swedish Midstar, comprising 28 hotels with a total of 4,709 rooms primarily located in Oslo, Stockholm and Copenhagen.
The acquisition stands out as one of the largest hotel transactions in the region.
Nrep
We advised Nrep on the sale of a portfolio of five retail and local shopping centres to Canadian asset manager Slate Asset Management. The transaction ranks among the largest Danish real estate deals of the year in terms of transaction value.
Svanemølleholm
We have advised KanAm Grund Group, which has entered into a joint venture with AP Ejendomme, in connection with the acquisition of 50% of Svanemølleholm in Copenhagen − a newly built office property.
The transaction is Denmark’s largest single asset transaction in 2025.
Danske Bank
We acted as lead counsel to Danske Bank A/S, Denmark’s largest financial institution, in connection with the multi-jurisdictional transaction involving Danske Bank’s provision of acquisition financing to Dansk Træemballage A/S for its purchase of the Swedish-based timber-products group Karl Hedin AB.
Nordea
We have advised Nordea on Matas Group’s completion of its refinancing into a new DKK 4 billion committed structure with Nordea acting as Sole Coordinating Bookrunner, Mandated Lead Arranger, Documentation Agent, and Facility Agent.

Nordea Bank
We act as litigation counsel to Nordea in one of the largest AML criminal cases in Denmark. Nordea is charged with violating the Danish AML act, including double digit billion worth of transactions. The case will test the boundaries of fine levels in these matters under Danish law.
