Legal

Negotiations and settlement of disputes

Our lawyers have a wide expertise in and assist the private sector in negotiations and settlement of disputes. We have experience in settling disputes in and outside the courtrooms, in mediation, arbitration and extra judicial mediation.

We can help you with all company law issues

We have extensive experience in advising on administration of companies and company law compliance, including corporate governance, equity capital transactions, mergers, de-mergers, acquisitions, structuring and restructuring.

Our company law experts can also draw on the expertise of our other areas of legal services, and can therefore assist company management, shareholders and other interested parties with particularly complex matters, and are able to look at company law matters from an overall perspective. Our global network provides effective means of assisting in company law matters in other jurisdictions and across borders.

We provide effective legal review of companies

Legal due diligence provides a good view of the businesses' legal matters, and provides an opportunity for obtaining knowledge of businesses' potentials and challenges.

Legal due diligence may be performed on a stand-alone basis, or we can offer a comprehensive review, which in addition may include e.g. reviewing financial and commercial aspects. In such matters, we work closely with our colleagues in PwC Deals.

Legal due diligence can be provided aimed on defined areas of law, or as a complete review of all legal matters relevant for a business.

Business acquisitions raise a variety of legal questions. We have extensive experience in assisting buyers and sellers in these processes - through the initial planning phase, in due diligence, contract negotiations and post merger integration. 

We cooperate closely with our colleagues in PwC Deals and Tax, allowing us to provide a seamless and fully integrated service covering all disciplines that are material in connection with mergers and acquisitions.

As part of PwC’s global network of lawyers and other M&A advisors, we can in a very efficient manner set up teams that are suited for different international transactions.

We have broad knowledge and extensive experience in working with public sector procurement, and are able to assist with public procurement from A to Z. Our public sector procurement clients are both public sector purchasers and private sector suppliers who provide goods and services to the public sector. Our approach to public sector procurement is to collaborate actively with our customers.

In order to provide procurement services in the most cost effective manner, we cooperate extensively with our consultants in PwC Consulting in matters related to operational and strategic procurement.

We have extensive experience and knowledge of real estate and real estate related law, in particular in respect of structuring. We can assist with establishing structures for real estate projects and can assist both in the planning- and implementing phase of such projects.

Comprehensive assistance from experienced financial law consultants

Very few industries are subject to such stringent and detailed regulations as the financial services industry. This level of detail means regulations are also complex — with different regulations for different types of activities and services related to banking, insurance and securities. In addition, these regulations are also frequently amended. Keeping informed can prove challenging.

PwC Legal provides a full range of business law services and works with finance industry regulations along several dimensions. We always make sure the team assigned to an issue has:

• A general overview and the understanding to grasp the big picture, and to manoeuvre and offer strategic advice — ensuring both full compliance and effective operations.
• Detailed knowledge of relevant regulations — to ensure full compliance with all requirements.
