Career

Jacob Høeg Madsen specialises in financial regulation, fund formation, other alternative investments and M&A

Jacob assists clients in the financial sector with advice on transactions and a wide variety of regulatory matters. His specialist skills – which date back from before the financial crisis – and deep sector-specific knowledge make him a valuable resource for clients seeking advice on assets management, marketing and management of investment funds (both UCITS and AIFs), payment services, pension and life insurance services, fintech and ESG. Following the tightening of the fit & proper requirements, Jacob has represented clients in their fit & proper dialogue with the Danish Financial Supervisory Authority.

He has over the years helped a broad range of institutional investors and family offices in connection with their investments in private equity funds, venture capital funds and other alternative investment funds domestically as well as internationally (e.g., funds domiciled in Luxembourg, the USA, South East Asia, the Channel Islands, etc.).

Jacob’s broad client base includes an increasing number of sponsors and managers seeking to establish capital funds in different asset classes (buy-out, venture, infrastructure and real estate). Clients benefit from his profound knowledge of institutional investors’ needs and preferences and of financial regulation in this respect.
