DOING BUSINESS IN DENMARK

Doing Business in Denmark is primarily intended to be a guide for the foreign investor, and its focus is to introduce some of the most important legislation and practical issues to be considered before commitment to a more detailed examination of Denmark as an investment destination.

This guide concentrates on in-bound investment forms (such as the various types of corporate entities), mergers & acquisitions, and various issues, which may be necessary to consider when making an investment in Denmark (taxation, employment matters and competition regulation among other things).

When preparing this outline, we have endeavoured to see things from the foreign investor’s point of view. We have generally tried to use the most appropriate English terms for specific Danish concepts and names and, where necessary, we have explained differences in special terms or titles as the case may be. The information is updated as of 1 January 2009.

This guide is not legal advice, but only intended as a guide and outline of certain aspects of Danish law. This guide does not include EU law considerations, although EU law aspects will often have to be considered an integral part of many transactions.

This guide is intended for the clients of Kromann Reumert.

The information should not be relied on in connection with specific transactions for which specific advice should always be obtained. Kromann Reumert therefore disclaims all liability for the content of this guide.
