Where are we different?

We distinguish ourselves from our competitors through a combination of the following core qualifications:

Pure advisory focus

We focus exclusively on advisory work. We strive for the highest level of integrity in all our dealings. We have no equity research or trading activities and we operate completely independently from the lending activities of our parent bank.

We are dedicated to providing uncompromising loyalty and unbiased advisory services to our clients, free of the potential conflicts of interest inherent in multi-product financial institutions.

Excellence and transparency

We endeavour to deliver industry-leading quality of service tailored to the specific needs of our clients. We continuously strive to improve our skills, resources and innovativeness through the people we employ and the clients we work with.

We take a proactive approach to our work, knowing from experience that complexity is an inherent part of most transactions and that challenges are best met by early identification followed by open and transparent dialogue with the client and by sharing ideas.

Trusted senior advisor

Through a constant emphasis on building and maintaining long-term client relationships, we aspire to be the trusted senior advisor to our clients - supervisory boards, management boards, financial sponsors or entrepreneurs.

Our exclusive focus on advisory services allows us to dedicate a high degree of partner attention to our clients who expect to see senior people with vast experience and deep understanding of their needs involved in all relevant aspects of transactions.

Unique experience

We have the largest and most experienced corporate finance advisory team in Denmark. Our partners are among the most experienced in the industry. Over the past 15 years, we have undertaken more than 125 M&A transactions for a total of more than EUR 50 billion, including some of the largest and most complex transactions with Danish involvement.

We believe that combining our local presence and experience with our trusted independent senior advisory approach and relentless striving for excellence offers our clients a unique value proposition in the Danish market.
