Plesner

M&A

Hans heads our Corporate Finance team, and in addition to advising on M&A transactions in general, he specialises in advising private equity funds and private equity owned businesses.

Hans has extensive experience from more than 25 years as a partner in our Corporate Finance team and has been involved in more than 100 transactions, both in Denmark and abroad - but always with an international angle to the transaction.

A number of Hans' private equity clients has had a buy and build strategy which, in addition to the core M&A advice, has also required extensive advice on corporate and contract law as well as incentive programmes and shareholder agreements.

The many transactions have covered a vast number of sectors, including industrial, retail, it, life science, shipping, financial institutions and automotive.

Hans' career originally started in our Insolvency Law and Restructuring team, and he has therefore also carved out a special niche in advising on matters involving M&A in relation to distressed assets.

Hans holds a master's degree in law from the University of Copenhagen. Hans is admitted to the High Court of Denmark.

The transactions Hans and his team have been involved in have more or less without exception involved multidisciplinary and multinational teams of advisors. This requires great project management and straightforward legal advice - always combined with an understanding of the commercial realities of the transaction. We always strive to deliver this.

Plesner is market leading in Denmark within M&A, typically advising clients on midsize to large-scale mergers, acquisitions, and investments. We have extensive experience advising private equity, industrial and institutional investors as well as state-owned companies and public authorities. Our track record in handling the most complex transactions, including cross-border deals, is second to none in Denmark.
