Corporate Law in Denmark

Danish company law offers companies flexible structures, but differs in many respects from German law. There are significant differences, particularly with regard to the choice of legal form, liability regulations and the responsibility of managing directors. For companies with German-Danish business activities, careful coordination is crucial. Our German-Danish law firm will help you to design cross-border corporate structures that are legally secure and efficient.

We also advise you on German company law – from setting up a company to drafting contracts.

Key aspects

Companies in Denmark benefit from flexible company law, but the differences to the German system require careful planning. Whether ApS, A/S or branch office – each legal form has its own tax and liability peculiarities. Managing directors have different obligations and capital requirements are often lower than in Germany. We advise companies on the optimal choice of legal form, the drafting of articles of association and the establishment of German-Danish corporate structures. With our experience in both legal systems, we ensure legally compliant solutions and economic efficiency.
