Skau Reipurth has vast experience in advising Danish and international clients in connection with M&A transactions, and our advice extends to all aspects of the transactions. We advise buyers and sellers, private equity and venture capital, family businesses, private investors, etc, on the process and strategy involved in M&A transactions, and we have well-established business partners in corporate finance, transaction services, VDR, W&I insurance, etc.
Skau Reipurth is also experienced in handling the many legal challenges that occur when the various areas of law collide. We assist with the negotiation and drafting of large and complex contracts, including pre-contract relations. We also perform legal reviews and interpret agreements already concluded when such agreements give rise to disagreement or difficulty of interpretation. In addition, we provide strategic management advice, including planning of negotiation strategies and commercial and legal considerations in respect of businesses’ contractual relations (distributor and dealer networks, contract management, claims management, etc).
