Bruun & Hjejle’s highly active M&A department is a prominent player in Denmark, providing end-to-end support to private equity funds, corporations, and financial institutions across diverse sectors. The team handles the full spectrum of complex and high-profile transactional matters, including public takeovers, private M&A, venture investments, joint ventures, restructurings, and commercial partnerships. It has a strong reputation for assisting Nordic private equity funds and family businesses in mid-market transactions and is a leader in direct and alternative investment matters for pension funds, infrastructure investors, and financial institutions. Particularly active in the renewable energy sector, the practice is co-headed by Morten Jensen, an expert in M&A, public takeovers, and alternative investments, and Jesper Schultz Larsen, who focuses on public-to-private deals and capital markets. Morten Stadil specialises in media, IT, and corporate transactions. In January 2025 the firm welcomed Thomas Kræmer, who brings over two decades of M&A expertise.
