Plesner
Plesner’s large-scale real estate and construction group continues to be involved in high-end, complex and cross-border mandates on behalf of a client base that counts large investment funds, international corporates and Danish pension funds. On the real estate side, the group is known for its expertise in high-value transactions, social housing and assisted living facilities matters, and asset management work. In terms of construction mandates, the group plays a significant role throughout the entire lifecycle of major infrastructure projects in Denmark; construction team leader Niklas Korsgaard Christensen is the key name for such matters, spearheading the group’s work in the space. Head of real estate Mads Berg focuses on high-end transactions and project development mandates. Other important points of contact include commercial lease expert Benjamin Bunnage, and Lasse Stjernholm Detlevsen, who predominantly advises institutional investors on transactional matters and project developments.
