We advise both Danish and international clients, including property funds, pension funds, property developers and private real estate companies, on the basis of a collaborative and solution-oriented approach. 

We believe that it is important to be accessible and to deliver commercially lucrative solutions to our clients.

We have particular focus on – and understand – the commercial aspects of property transactions, property development projects and asset management, and we take pride in facilitating the most optimal and efficient processes. We take responsibility, and we do not compromise on quality or integrity. 

The Real Estate team is placed – both organisationally and physically – in a group with the Construction team (including the sub-team Social Housing) and the Energy and Infrastructure team (including the sub-teams Public Law, Environmental Law and Planning Law, and Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG)), which enables us jointly to provide highly specialized and holistic advice with respect to all subject-matters within the built environment across these teams and in collaboration with other relevant teams in Plesner.

By this structure, we ensure the best possible utilisation of the synergy effects of Plesner's knowledge in terms of construction, acquisition, operation, disputes and sale of all types of real estate for the benefit of our clients.

Transactions

Property transactions - in the form of asset transfers as well as company transactions - is one of the Real Estate team's largest practice areas. Transactions can comprise all types of commercial properties, property development projects, property portfolios or development projects and property companies. 

Advice is structured on the basis of the individual transaction and with a focus on obtaining cost effective and operationally efficient structures in connection with the relevant client's acquisition or sale. Accordingly, advice regarding for instance ownership structures as well as investment strategies and financing is taken into account from the beginning.  

We know that transactions are dynamic, and we are characterised by our responsive approach throughout the entire process. When providing advice we focus on making the complicated simple. This is reflected in a transaction service safeguarding the clients' business interests in the projects and seeking to address any challenges pragmatically - but always with a focus on sound commercial solutions. 

Property development projects

The development of properties involves contractual and administrative processes and transactions which our Real Estate team is specialized in dealing with in collaboration with Plesner's Construction Law team and the sub-team Environmental Law and Planning Law. 

This often involves long-term projects where we provide advice from the beginning till the end and ensure continuous follow-ups and progress in projects in collaboration with our clients. At the same time, an eye for detail is necessary when it comes to development projects, as projects are often complex. When we provide advice, we make sure to have such an overview, no matter the stage of the process.

Asset Management

Plesner is one of the absolutely leading Asset Management advisors in Denmark. Our advice covers all areas of asset management, including commercial lease law, residential lease law, dispute resolution and agreements on administration and management of properties. Focusing on creating the greatest possible value, we provide advice based on the highest professional standards, in-depth practical experience, and with a commercial mindset.
