Linked Reviews
Financial and corporate
With a history tracing back to 1872, the Danish law firm Bech-Bruunhas offices in Copenhagen and Aarhus. Bech Bruun is among one of the largest firms in the Nordic region with 570+ employees and 55 partners. 

As a full service law firm, the firm is recognised for its strong M&A, projects and restructuring and insolvency teams representing leading Danish and international clients.

Highlights

The firm advised long-standing client Salling Group on the financing of its acquisition of RIMI Baltic, one of the largest grocery retailers in the Baltic region. Valued at approximately US$1.5 billion, the transaction is the largest acquisition in Salling Group’s history and one of the most significant Baltic M&A deals of the past decade. The mandate highlights the team's expertise in large-scale acquisition financings and cross-border transactions in the retail sector.


Anders Hoffmann Kønigsfeldt acted as court-appointed restructuring administrator in the restructuring of Odsherred Varme, a municipally owned district heating company burdened by approximately DKK 1.5 billion of debt following a failed network expansion. The restructuring resulted in a creditor-approved plan featuring a long-term repayment framework and debt write-off of approximately USD120 million, helping stabilise a high-profile public utility and highlighting the team's expertise in complex restructurings involving municipalities, lenders and essential infrastructure assets.
