Financial Regulation and Asset Management

Rules governing financial institutions and asset management, including securities offerings and financial services, are becoming increasingly detailed and complex, not least as a result of increased international regulation.

Securities offerings and asset management often take place on a cross-border basis, and new financial products are being developed. Accordingly, high demands are imposed on the financial institutions and their customers.

We advise a number of leading Danish and foreign financial institutions, including asset managers, on regulatory matters in Denmark. We also have broad experience in assisting Danish clients with structuring financial products abroad, where we benefit from our wide network of contacts with leading law firms abroad.
