We have extensive experience in setting up Danish financial undertakings and Danish and foreign financial undertakings' setting-up of subsidiaries and branches. We also advise financial undertakings on expansion of their activities for which authorisation is required, divesture of areas of business and cessation [of activities]. We have previously advised credit institutions, investment companies, insurance companies, managers of alternative investment funds etc.

We advise on all stages of the process, including drafting, negotiation and structuring of:

• applications to the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority for authorisation to operate regulated activities 
• applications for fit and proper authorisation of members of management and approval of the purchase of qualifying ownership interests
• transaction documents
• governance structures
• compensation programmes
• policies and procedures
• compliance with capital requirements

Through our excellent partners we can assist Danish financial undertakings efficiently in setting up activities abroad.
