Challenges and requirements

China's 12th Five-Year Plan, with its focus on economic development initiatives within the realm of Danish expertise, e.g. cleantech and biotech, has drawn attention to potential commercial opportunities in Denmark. Moreover, the close relationship between Denmark and Greenland makes Denmark a natural gateway for Chinese mining companies and investors attracted to the great potential of the Greenlandic natural resource industry.

Chinese and Danish companies alike are faced with similar significant challenges, including conducting business in unfamiliar legal systems and cultures and navigating the local political environment. Both require country specific legal expertise and guidance on exploiting and securing available business opportunities.

How we can help

Our Chinese Desk assists Chinese companies with outbound investments and other activities in Denmark and Europe, as well as Danish companies operating, or contemplating establishing, business in China.

As a full service law firm, we advise Chinese clients – both in Chinese and in English - on all aspects of Danish law and also assist with identifying investment opportunities in the Danish market. Moreover, bolstered by our team of experienced Chinese and Danish lawyers, as well as our representation office in Shanghai, China, we offer Danish clients specialised Chinese legal advice, as well as general commercial advice on the Chinese market, governmental affairs and compliance issues.

We are the only larger Danish law firm to have Chinese qualified legal professionals on our staff and a representation office in Shanghai, which enables us to have a thorough understanding of the cultural and business environment in China and to establish an extensive professional network locally. Our legal expertise, local presence and business acumen ensure that we add genuine legal value to Chinese-Danish endeavours.
