Linked Reviews
Financial and corporate

Danish law firm Accura was founded in 1999. The firms headquarters is centred in Copenhagen. It also operates offices in Copenhagen, Aarhus, Boston, London, Tokyo, Melbourne, Seoul and Singapore and an estimated 525 employees globally.

The firm is recognised for its leading market practice in M&A and banking and finance, widely recognised as Denmark’s leading transactional law firm. Accura’s strong international reputation is illustrated by its consistent role representing leading foreign financial service institutions, private equity companies, investors and prominent listed Dutch companies.

Highlights

In 2025, the firm's M&A team was advising Spar Nord Bank with respect to the proposed acquisition by Nykredit Realkredit via an all-share takeover. With a transaction value of USD3.9 billion, the acquisition, if completed, will create Denmark’s third largest bank.

The firm also played a role as legal adviser to Mitsubishi HC Capital in connection with its EUR700 million investment into European Energy, closed in 2024, consisting in the acquisition of 20% outstanding shares and voting rights. The deal made Mitsubishi HC Capital a key strategic partner to European Energy.
