High-end corporate and M&A mandates are the core pillar of Moalem Weitemeyer’s practice, which has strength across private equity, venture capital and complex cross-border transactions. Henning Aasmul-Olsen heads up capital markets and corporate finance group and is praised as ‘a very robust and experienced M&A lawyer with a great eye for all possible challenges and a good commercial eye’. Firm chairman Dan Moalem’s practice emphasises public M&A; he is often engaged on high-profile public takeover and defence mandates in Denmark. Poul Guo is another important port of call with extensive experience in private equity, M&A and employment law. Of the associates, Thomas Enevoldsen advises start-ups in connection with investment rounds, as well as providing general advice within corporate and company law. Jacob Bier joined the team from Poul Schmith in 2024.
