In an interview with Danish legal daily AdvokatWatch, Head of Country Casper Moltke-Leth announces yet another year of remarkable growth for Bird & Bird Denmark. While the overall market may experience stagnation or a slight decline, ’we remain optimistic about our growth prospects and have established budgeted targets for the upcoming year’ Casper says.
The interview is in Danish, but below are some highlights:
💰 Robust gross profit figures with a revenue of around DKK 130 million. According to the latest financial statement, gross profits grew 16% to DKK 48.6 million.
✨ We remain committed to our ambition of surpassing 100 employees and partners in our Copenhagen office.
🏢 To accommodate our expanding team, we have expanded our office space in Nordhavn. Our focus is not only on increasing the number of employees but also on maintaining and building upon our unique culture and bringing in the right people, even if it takes time. With the additional space, we are positioned to welcome more talented professionals.
🤝 We are actively engaged in discussions with potential new partners, seeking individuals who align with our values and expertise. We recently welcomed Mette Mernø Hans Jakobsen, an accomplished M&A lawyer, as a new partner.
🚀 This year marked our 10th anniversary in Denmark, and we look forward to the promising decade ahead!

People often ask me how Vistage can help their business. Having a Peer Advisory Group can get you through tough times and help you thrive. #Vistage#PeerAdvisoryGroup#BusinessSuccess
It is brilliant to have this news to share, and very exciting for the years ahead 😃 📈. Also I personally found it really interesting (and useful) to see some of this process from the inside when usually I see it from an external advisor viewpoint as we help our clients with investment rounds/due diligence.
What was the biggest benefit of implementing Mero for Impact Cleaning Services?
It was acting as a source of truth.
Following the pandemic, cleaning transparency was of utmost importance to property managers.
Knowing that cleaning teams had responded to high traffic areas and followed their scope of work.
Mero provided the insight needed for the cleaning team at Yonge + St. Clair to perform and stand out.
Listen to George Boutsalis talk about how Mero benefited the property team from Colliers.

"The development of Danish agriculture is a shared responsibility 🤝
The green tripartite is currently in full swing with discussions on a green tax reform, and at Danish Crown, we look forward to contributing our share of responsibility - in fact, we are already actively involved.
But when it comes to discussing the contribution and responsibility of agriculture in Denmark, I believe there is a need for more nuance in the debate. A very good example is the much-debated low-lying areas. So let me take you on a little journey through history.
In the 20th century, low-lying areas were seen as a resource that could increase agricultural production - not only for agriculture itself but also for the state. In 1940, the Danish Parliament established a committee with the aim of reclaiming additional agricultural land by draining lakes, embanking fjords, and regulating rivers.
This was instrumental in Denmark having as much as 170,000 hectares of low-lying areas in 2010. Since then, the area has been reduced by over 30 percent, and today there are approximately 118,000 hectares remaining.
The point is that the climate problem posed by low-lying areas, which we have since learned about, is not solely created by agriculture. It is more nuanced than that because it is a shared responsibility - and therefore, rolling back the effort should also be a shared responsibility.
Agriculture is not lacking the will to take responsibility and contribute. But it also requires political willingness to provide compensation to landowners who need to give up areas.
I have written more about all of this in today's edition of Børsen.

Udviklingen af dansk landbrug er et fælles ansvar 🤝
Den grønne trepart er i disse uger i fuld gang med drøftelserne af en grøn skattereform, og hos Danish Crown ser vi frem til at være med til at løfte vores del af ansvaret – vi er faktisk allerede i fuld gang.
Men når talen falder på netop landbrugets bidrag og ansvar i Danmark, er der i min optik brug for flere nuancer i debatten. Et rigtig godt eksempel er de meget omdiskuterede lavbundsjorde. Så lad mig tage jer med til en lille historietime.
I 1900-tallet blev lavbundsjorde betragtet som en ressource, der kunne øge landbrugsproduktionen – ikke bare af landbruget selv, men også af staten. Folketinget nedsatte i 1940 et udvalg, der havde til formål at indvinde ekstra landbrugsarealer ved at udtørre søer, inddæmme fjorde og regulere åer.
Det var stærkt medvirkende til, at Danmark i 2010 havde hele 170.000 hektar lavbundsjorde. Siden da er arealet blevet reduceret med over 30 procent, og i dag er der cirka 118.000 hektar tilbage.
Pointen er, at den klimaproblematik, som vi siden har lært, at lavbundsjordene udgør, ikke alene er skabt af landbruget. Det er mere nuanceret end som så, for det er et fælles ansvar – og derfor bør det også være et fælles ansvar at rulle indsatsen tilbage.
Landbruget mangler ikke vilje til at tage ansvaret og bidrage. Men det kræver også, at der er politisk vilje til at betale kompensation til de lodsejere, der skal afgive arealer.
Alt det har jeg skrevet mere om i dagens udgave af Børsen.

In an open world, a country with an excessive #wealthtax on working capital risks losses. People don't let themselves be milked like cows. They vote with their feet and migrate. There is no sensible motive for such a thing. 🇳🇴 Norway is one of the richest countries in the world due to its oil and gas reserves. As President of the EFTA Court, I was involved in a number of major tax law cases. But this is not a tax law problem stricto sensu. Rather, it is a problem of #constitutionallaw, Norwegian and international #humanrightslaw, #competitionlaw, #comparativelaw and #legalpolicy.
Vi engasjerer oss i kampen mot formueskatten. Denne skatten er svært ødeleggende for næringsutviklingen i Norge og mye tyder på at den er lovstridig. Det jobbes nå med å bygge opp et juridisk grunnlag som i neste fase skal danne basis for et søksmål som planlegges mot den norske stat da vi tror dette må til for å få bukt med denne skatten.
Vi er ikke imot å betale skatt; heller tvert imot, men vi kan ikke akseptere en innretning i skattepolitikken som over tid tar bort eksistensgrunnlaget for næringslivet og som hemmer næringutvikling på en såvidt omfattende måte. Vi er nå i en fase der vi reiser kapital til den kommende juridiske prosessen og henstiller selskaper og personer som ønsker å støtte dette initiativet til å ta kontakt 😀
