Bech-Bruun remains among the Danish market leaders for corporate, commercial and M&A work and the group’s focuses include advising on private equity transactions, M&A within the energy, life sciences and technology sectors, and complex venture capital work. The ‘very dedicated’ Simon Milthers, Jakob Kristensen and Claus Aagaard Nielsen jointly head up the practice group; Milthers is a highly experienced expert in M&A and company law, while Kristensen is routinely engaged on both buy and sell-side M&A mandates, particularly in the renewable energy space, and Aagaard Nielsen spearheads many of the team’s major domestic and international transactions. Pre-eminent M&A practitioner Jacob Hjortshøj is a leading name for advising private equity funds. Other key names to note include company law expert Søren Kamp Nørbæk, as well as Andreas Nielsen and Christian Eichen, who both arrived from Bruun & Hjejle in January 2023.
