Defence and security
Legal advice in a new security policy reality.
In the coming year, Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Greenland are set to make unprecedented investments in defence and security. These investments will involve the purchase of large quantities of equipment and the expansion of military infrastructure on an unprecedented scale and at an unprecedented pace.
A successful implementation of these investments requires clear legal advice for the relevant market players.
At Bruun & Hjejle, we advise Danish and international investors, companies and authorities on matters relating to the defence sector. This includes direct investments in defence companies and related infrastructures such as port and barracks expansions. We provide solutions that combine legal expertise with insights into the defence sector, political decision-making processes and regulatory matters.
We provide advice through teams with high levels of business-relevant expertise, drawing on input from all relevant legal areas. Our legal services cover the entire process, from structuring to execution, and we work closely with our clients to ensure progress, clarity and sustainable solutions.
Quote by Christian Johansen
We are in the midst of an unprecedented strengthening of the military power of the Danish Armed Forces, as well as the associated infrastructure (ports, barracks, training facilities, etc.) in Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Islands. This process requires trust, speed and a secure framework, and we consider it our responsibility to support this important task.
Quote by Jesper Schultz Larsen
