In a rapidly changing economic world, legal matters are no longer just a requirement – they are strategically crucial. The Danish law firm Bech-Bruun, with offices in Copenhagen and Aarhus, specializes in exactly these demands. It offers top-tier business law services tailored to international companies, investors, and particularly German firms seeking to enter or deepen their presence in the Danish market.

„In-depth legal support can be the deciding factor in the success or failure of a transaction,“ says Simon Milthers, one of the firm’s key figures. This mindset shapes Bech-Bruun’s identity: legal excellence becomes a lever for business development – pragmatic, solution-oriented, and always forward-thinking.

Corporate Law and Transactions: Focus on Simon Milthers

Simon Milthers’ expertise lies in corporate law, particularly in M&A processes, mergers, restructurings, and joint ventures. In a legal framework such as Denmark’s Selskabsloven (Companies Act No. 470 of June 12, 2009), both structural and governance issues are key. Milthers is well-versed in the differences and similarities to German law, translating them into understandable strategies for his clients.

An example: When founding a joint venture between a German machinery manufacturer and a Danish component producer, Milthers and his team developed:

• A supervisory board with equal voting rights

• A harmonized profit-sharing agreement

• A notary-certified arbitration clause for potential conflict resolution

He not only plans the legal structure but also considers due diligence processes, tax implications, and practical implementation scenarios. For Milthers, legal work is always strategic work – an approach widely recognized by clients.

M&A, Private Equity, and Capital Markets Law: Morten Bruun-Larsen as a Key Figure

Another leading figure at Bech-Bruun is Morten Bruun-Larsen, a partner and one of Denmark’s top experts in M&A, private equity, and capital markets law. He guides Danish and international companies, as well as private equity funds, through complex transactions and financing rounds.

Bruun-Larsen is known for clear communication, structured processes, and goal-oriented strategy development – even in difficult negotiations or time-sensitive projects. He is renowned for translating legal complexity into economically actionable models. His expertise is especially sought after in areas such as:

• Company acquisitions by financial investors

• IPOs and capital increases

• Regulatory structuring in international contexts

For German companies, he is a central point of contact when it comes to cross-border transactions. Together with Milthers, he forms a strong team at Bech-Bruun for German-Danish business relations.

A Bridge Between Two Business Cultures

A key success factor in the work of Milthers and Bruun-Larsen lies in their cultural translation abilities for their clients. Both experts understand the nuances of the German-Danish business world – from decision-making processes to negotiation cultures to regulatory differences.

„German precision meets Danish flexibility – when you combine these correctly, it creates a real competitive advantage,“ explains Milthers. Experience shows that not only legal, but also communicative and cultural competence are crucial for the success of projects.

Bech-Bruun as a Platform for International Growth

According to a 2023 study by the German-Danish Chamber of Commerce, over 1,500 German companies are active in Denmark. Bech-Bruun supports many of them with market entry, company acquisitions, or the development of new investment models.

The firm offers:

• Tailored joint venture agreements

• Advice on holding structures and financing models

• Support with tax optimization

Milthers and Bruun-Larsen lead interdisciplinary teams that work together with tax advisors, compliance experts, and business specialists. Clients benefit from short pathways, high availability, and international connectivity.

ESG and Regulatory Excellence

In addition to transactions, regulatory support – particularly in the area of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) – is gaining increasing importance. Both Milthers and Bruun-Larsen emphasize that companies must not only comply with laws but create credible structures for sustainability and compliance.

Bech-Bruun supports clients with:

• EU Taxonomy and its operational implementation

• CSR reporting obligations under the EU Disclosure Regulation

• Supply chain transparency and governance requirements

The firm utilizes modern Legal Tech solutions for verification and documentation. This enables more efficient processes and increases legal certainty – a clear advantage for internationally active companies.

Digitalization Meets Law: Legal Tech as a Success Factor

The use of Legal Tech is not a trend at Bech-Bruun but a core part of the business model. Automated contract analysis, digital risk assessments, and rule-based compliance checks allow the firm to solve complex tasks more quickly and accurately.

This technology is particularly used in capital markets transactions or M&A due diligence checks – always under the supervision of experienced partners like Bruun-Larsen, who combines classical expertise with modern tools.

Conclusion: Structure, Strategy, and Trust

With Simon Milthers and Morten Bruun-Larsen, Bech-Bruun has two exceptional lawyers who perfectly combine economic thinking and legal precision. They represent a modern law firm culture that operates in an interdisciplinary, international, and solution-oriented way.

Companies active in Denmark or Scandinavia – whether medium-sized or large corporations – will find in Bech-Bruun a reliable partner for legal and economic security.
