Renowned for its ‘in-depth industry knowledge’ and ’strong ability to handle complex transactions,’ HortenDahl brings extensive experience in real estate M&A transactions, construction projects, property development, and lease law and litigation-related matters. The real estate team is led by Michael Neumann, who is well-versed in assisting high-profile clients in real estate tax matters, disputes, and hotel transactions involving long-term lease law. The ‘outstanding’ Niels Jørgen Oggesen heads the construction team, bringing significant expertise in guarantee calls and extensive experience negotiating international contracts based on FIDIC standards. Key members Emil Spurr Madsen and Alessandro Traina are praised by clients for their ’vast experience in all aspects of real estate transactions and asset management.’ Following the 2026 merger between HortenDahl and DAHL Law Firm, the group now also includes Poul Jensen, who is highly experienced in real estate transfer and rental, as well as project development and tenancy law within agriculture and forestry. On the construction side, Jensen is supported by the ‘knowledgeable’ Hans Erik Steffensen.
