New rules have entered into force: Halving of share capital and possibility of crowdfunding — The adopted bill L71 will make it easier for entrepreneurs to raise capital. To this end, the capital requirement has been halved and the possibility of offering shares to the public via crowdfunding has been introduced. New capital requirements The capital requirement for private limited companies has been halved from DKK 40,000 to DKK 20,000, and new private limited companies can now be founded with a share capital of DKK 20,000. Existing private limited companies can also make capital reductions down to the new minimum limit of DKK 20,000 as long as they continue to meet the requirements of the Danish Companies Act for capital reductions. The bill was adopted as part of the Entrepreneurship Package from June 2024 and aims to strengthen growth and innovation among Danish entrepreneurs. The amendment came into force on January 1, 2025, and the final effective date was February 27, 2025 , when the changes were implemented in the Danish Business Authority's IT system. Equity crowdfunding opportunity The change also provides better access to finance for private limited companies. It allows private limited companies to offer shares to the public through approved equity crowdfunding platforms. An option that has previously been reserved for limited liability companies. At the same time, the amendment allows private limited companies to offer their own shares to so-called qualified investors without using a platform. However, it is still not permitted to trade private limited companies' shares on regulated markets or multilateral trading facilities, and they are therefore unlisted shares. At CO:PLAY, we welcome the change in the law, which improves financing opportunities for private limited companies and helps to promote entrepreneurship and economic activity.

Experience from FE and the National Police Christian has an impressive resume that spans the legal world and has one thing in common: it all touches on data protection in all its forms. His work as Head of the Danish National Police's Center for Data Protection and Head of Department at FE has given him a special insight into how to navigate through the most sensitive and complex cases, including advanced hacker attacks and cyber incidents. Recognized expert in data protection, the upcoming NIS2 legislation and cybercrime Not only is he an experienced practitioner with a no-nonsense approach to delivering services that meet the requirements of the directives, he is also a recognized expert who has contributed to the drafting of legislation, including negotiations on the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) during the Danish EU Presidency in 2012.

New rules on employee share schemes on the way - better conditions for SMEs — In the summer of 2024, the government adopted an Entrepreneurship Package, which we at CO:PLAY are very pleased with. One of the points dealt with employee share schemes, which is expected to make it more attractive for SMEs to offer share-based remuneration. This is done by changing the conditions for being covered by Section 7 P of the Danish Taxation Act, which makes it possible to defer taxation until the recipient's actual realization of the capital shares. What changes? So far, there have been fixed limits of 10%, 20% or 50% for how much of the employee's salary can consist of employee shares. As an alternative, the government proposes that if the employee receives a salary of approximately DKK 253,000 (adjusted annually) at the time of allocation, there is no (tax) limit on what the value of the employee shares can be. This makes it possible to grant employee shares without the previous percentage limitations and without the costly valuations of the company, which the tax authorities can challenge, and which were required for the value of the employee shares to be reimbursed. Extended SME definition The new rules apply to SMEs, but the definition is significantly expanded: - Maximum balance sheet total and turnover is increased from DKK 15 million to DKK 200 million. - The number of employees has increased from 50 to up to 150 - Maximum number of years the company can be active in the market is increased from 5 to 10 years More initiatives on the way The changes are part of the Entrepreneurship Package, which also includes improved handling of taxation of earn-outs, an increased tax credit ceiling and a solution to the challenges with shareholder loans. We are hosting a webinar on November 18, 2025, 10:00 - 11:30 about the Entrepreneur Package and you can register via the following link .
New standard contractual clauses (SCCs) adopted — On 4 June 2021, the European Commission finally adopted a new and modernised set of standard provisions. The kit contains a standard data processor agreement (DPA) and standard contractual provisions for the transfer of personal data (SCCs). The new SCCs incorporate a number of different new provisions reflecting current rules and practices, with the aim of strengthening the protection of personal data transferred to unsafe third countries. This comes in the light of the now very well-known Schrems-II case, in which the European Court of Justice incapacitated the previously applicable system for the transfer of personal data between the EU and the US, Privacy-Shield. The CJEU also stressed that transfers to third countries based on SCCs require adequate protection of personal data, which will often require the implementation of additional security measures. The judgment has formed the basis for a great many issues with companies and authorities, especially in relation to the use of suppliers involving transfers of personal data to the United States or similar third countries. These issues are addressed to some extent in the new SCCs. The new SCCs include the following essential measures: Companies and authorities are given 18 months from the adoption date to phase out the previous SCCs and replace with new SCCs or some other transfer reason in the relevant circumstances. In addition, it is important to note that the data exporter still has to make an individual assessment of whether and what additional measures are necessary in the specific transfer situation.

CO:PLAY wins landmark case on parody exception and data protection — Lawyer Line Forsberg Pointinger has led a case in the Eastern High Court that marks an important clarification of copyright law and data protection rules. Case highlights: Parody exception: The High Court ruled that there are limits to when a use of copyrighted material is covered by the parody exception. Adding text over an image and combining it with music is not sufficient to entertain about something outside the work itself. An important ruling that protects both creators and their works. Data protection on social media: The court also ruled that sharing personal data for business purposes - for example on social media - is a processing activity that must comply with GDPR rules. The decision provides clarity on the boundaries of what is allowed in both copyright and data protection - and we are happy to be able to help push the legal situation in a fair direction. Want to read more? Find the decision and reference to the High Court here. A big pat on the back to Line for her skilled work in this principled case that both secures our client and sets an important precedent!

New program in CO:PLAY: Growth Partner — We are now launching our Growth Partner program - a new way to create involvement, responsibility and ownership in CO:PLAY. The Growth Partner program is created with an ambition to build a law firm with different building blocks than most. CO:PLAY wants to be a company that is less centered on individuals who, through more or less autonomous profit centers, create business within the business. But most importantly, it is a business model that is difficult to scale unless you collect silos. With our Growth Partner program, we seek a model that creates a common business goal for everyone at an early stage and thereby a strengthened common platform that has a better foundation for growth. The program is aimed at employees who want to get involved in the business - not just as lawyers and legal advisors, but as co-creators of the company we build together. Participation in the program entails both co-ownership and insight into business operations and thus also investment and risk, but also a special role in the further development of CO:PLAY as an organization. The program is voluntary and there are several paths to a career in CO:PLAY. But for those who have the courage to take responsibility and want to engage with the bigger picture, it's a meaningful alternative. See press release here and read more in our brochure here .

The purpose of the presentation was to give the participants, members of DI, an introduction to the main rules for the application of claims about sustainability and SDGs in its marketing, as well as advice on how to avoid smoking in the greenwashing trap. Greenwashing occurs when companies mislead consumers by making their products, production methods or other activities appear more sustainable than what is the case. Therefore, Line focused on outlining the framework for the use of sustainable claims in marketing as well as related documentation requirements.

COVID-19 Legal Advice — In this blog post, we discuss the legal challenges that COVID-19 has brought about for Danish companies. We get more questions about how companies should deal with the issues that arise from COVID-19. We have therefore gathered the good advice that we have passed on in this article, which deals with: How should companies deal with labour and employment law? Five tips for complying with data protection rules The assessment of whether COVID-19 constitutes a force majeure event In general, we recommend everyone keep up to date with developments and stay updated on www.coronasmitte.dk How should companies deal with labour and employment law? Osh: What does the company do to prevent the company's employees from becoming infected with COVID-19? The company must decide whether the company's employees are unnecessarily exposed to the risk of being infected with COVID-19. For example, the company may introduce guidelines or take actions that minimize the potential risk of infection from colleagues, customers, business partners or the general public. Relevant measures could be to introduce homework, lopsided/flexible working hours, stricter hygiene measures, control of travel activities, and stipulate that all meetings must be virtual/telephone. Employee's working conditions: Can the employee refuse to show up for work for fear of infection? As a rule, it would be an illegal no-show (with the risk of expulsion) if an employee does not show up for work for fear of becoming infected. It is the employer who decides whether an employee should be sent home or appear at work. Thus, it is not up to the employee to decide for himself. However, the situation will be different if health authorities have issued a quarantine order to the employee concerned. An employer cannot defy such an injunction. In other situations, it is up to the company alone to decide who should be sent home or show up for work. To the extent that the employee can work from home and the employer asks the employee to do so, the employee is obliged to work from home. Is the employee entitled to pay if the employer sends him or her home? As a rule, the employee is entitled to remuneration if the employer decides to stay at home. If the authorities require companies to send employees home, the obligation to pay wages may cease. What can the employee do if the institutions close and they have to look after their child? If an employee's child is ill, he or she is entitled to paid absences to the extent that he or she is otherwise permitted to during the child's illness. If the child is not ill, the employee must provide care. If the employee cannot have the child cared for, it can be agreed with the employer that the employee works at home or settles freedom such as holidays, care days or other things. Kan virksomheden varsle ferie uden varsel? Som udgangspunkt skal ferie varsles med 3 måneders varsel for så vidt angår hovedferie, mens øvrig ferie skal varsles med 1 måneds varsel. Men da der pr. 11. marts 2020 er tale om en ekstraordinær situation, må virksomheden formodes at opfylde betingelserne for, at kunne fravige de normale varslingsregler i ferieloven og i stedet varsle ferie med meget kort eller ingen varsel. Medarbejderens sygdom: Har medarbejderen ret til løn, hvis vedkommende er syg og smittet med COVID-19? Udgangspunktet er, at medarbejderen har krav på løn under sygdom eller sygedagpenge efter de almindelige for ansættelsen gældende regler. Kan virksomheden kræve, at en medarbejder, hvis nærmeste familie for nylig har rejst i et risikoområde, går i ”frivillig” hjemmekarantæne? Anbefalingen fra myndighederne om hjemmeophold i 14 dage omhandler kun personer, der selv er udrejst til risikoområder. Virksomheden kan dog vælge at sende en medarbejder hjem i 14 dage af sikkerhedshensyn, selvom vedkommende ikke er omfattet af myndighedernes anbefaling. I så fald har medarbejderen ret til almindelig løn under hjemmeopholdet. Medarbejderen og rejser: Kan virksomheden fraråde sine medarbejdere at rejse til bestemte lande/områder? En arbejdsgiver har ikke ret til at nægte en medarbejder at rejse på ferie til et udsat land eller område. Er medarbejderen i privat regi rejst til et af de særlige risikoområder i strid med sundhedsmyndighedernes anbefalinger, kan forpligtelsen til at betale løn under sygdom ophøre, idet der kan være tale om selvforskyldt sygdom. En arbejdsgiver kan bestemme, at en medarbejder skal blive hjemme på grund af risiko for COVID-19, eksempelvis hvis medarbejderen har opholdt sig i et af de særlige risikoområder. I eksemplerne ovenfor er der tale om generelle vejledende svar. Så hvis du som virksomhed er i tvivl om, hvordan du skal håndtere en specifik situation i forhold til COVID-19, så skal du i stedet søge konkret juridisk rådgivning for at være sikker på, at den konkrete sag håndteres korrekt. Vær opmærksom på, at der er tale om omstændigheder, som vi ikke i Danmark har set lignende, ligesom situationen hele tiden udvikler sig. Fem gode råd til at overholde Databeskyttelsesreglerne En arbejdsgiver kan registrere og videregive helbredsoplysninger, f.eks. at en ansat er smittet med COVID-19. Hensynet her kan fx være, at ledelsen og kollegaer kan træffe de nødvendige forholdsregler i forhold til forebyggelse og sikring af et sikkert og fysisk sundt arbejdsmiljø mv. Alle virksomheder skal dog, når de behandler personoplysninger, overholde databeskyttelsesreglerne og her er fem gode råd dertil: Registrering og/eller videregivelse af personoplysningen skal være saglig og være begrænset til det nødvendige. Overvej derfor om: der er en god grund til at registrere og/eller videregive de pågældende personoplysninger formålet kan opnås ved at undgå at specificere personoplysningerne (se punkt 2) det er nødvendigt at omtale den pågældende ved navn I har et retsgrundlag til videregivelsen Undgå så vidt muligt at registrere følsomme personoplysninger ved registreringer om den ansatte, men brug i stedet følgende formuleringer: den ansatte er hjemvendt fra et såkaldt ”risikoområde” den ansatte er i hjemmekarantæne (uden nærmere at angive årsagen) den ansatte er syg (uden nærmere at angive årsagen) Behandlingen skal fremgå i virksomhedens privatlivspolitik til de ansatte, herunder eventuelle modtagere af personoplysningerne ved videregivelse (eksempelvis kunder, samarbejdspartnere, myndigheder) Behandlingen af disse personoplysninger skal med i virksomhedens fortegnelse over behandlingsaktiviteter Lav slettefrister for, hvor lang tid virksomheden opbevarer disse personoplysninger om jeres ansatte Vurderingen af om COVID-19 udgør en force majeure-begivenhed Force majeure indgår ofte som en klausul i kommercielle kontrakter for at fritage en eller flere parter for ansvar i tilfælde af en ekstraordinær begivenhed. Altså en udefrakommende og upåregnelig begivenhed, som umuliggør en kontraktpart i korrekt opfyldelse af sine kontraktuelle forpligtelser (fx levering af en vare, leveringstid mv.) og som den berørte part hverken kunne forudse, forhindre eller overkomme. Udgør COVID-19 en force majeure-begivenhed? Om COVID-19 udgør en force majeure-begivenhed vil altid bero på en konkret vurdering af force majeure-klausulens ordlyd i kontrakten samt hvilket lands lov, kontrakten er underlagt. Hvis COVID-19 skal kunne anses som force majeure, skal det være angivet, at force majeure også omfatter sundhedskriser, epidemier eller lignende sygdomsudbrud, karantæner/isolationer pålagt af offentlige myndigheder mv. Er sådanne omstændigheder indeholdt i kontrakten, er man godt stillet idet WHO har erklæret udbruddet af COVID-19 for en folkesundhedsmæssig krise af international betydning. Hvis omstændighederne ikke er medtaget i kontrakten som en force majeure-udløsende omstændighed, er det ikke givet at force majeure kan gøres gældende og det vil det i sidste ende være domstolene, der tager stilling til, om COVID-19 udgør en force majeure-begivenhed i det konkrete kontraktforhold. Det er den part, som vil påberåbe sig force majeure, som har bevisbyrden for, at COVID-19 har haft en betydning for kontraktforholdet og udgør en force majeure-udløsende begivenhed. Hvad hvis kontrakten ikke indeholder en force majeure-klausul? Indeholder kontrakten ikke en force majeure-klausul bør det undersøges, hvilket lands regler (lovvalg) kontrakten er underlagt. Det skyldes, at der i nogle lande findes et generelt princip om force majeure. For kontrakter underlagt dansk ret gælder force majeure som en generel retsnorm. Det er dog ikke tilfældet i andre jurisdiktioner, hvorfor det er afgørende, at kontrakten tager stilling til force majeure som en ansvarsfrihedsgrund. Lovvalget kan derfor spille en afgørende rolle for, om COVID-19 kan gøres gældende som en force majeure-begivenhed. Husk underretningspligten Det er ikke alle forpligtelser, der bortfalder i tilfælde af, at en kontraktpart ønsker at påberåbe sig force majeure. Under dansk ret er ansvarsfriheden for den part, som ikke kan opfylde kontrakten og påberåber sig force majeure betinget af, at parten loyalt underretter den anden part ligesom den ikke-opfyldende part er forpligtet til at begrænse den skade, der måtte opstå. Manglende iagttagelse af underretningspligten kan medføre erstatningsansvar og muligheden for at påberåbe sig force majeure, kan gå tabt. Lignende bestemmelser vil almindeligvis gælde i internationale kontrakter. Afsluttende bemærkninger På nuværende tidspunkt er det vigtigt, at virksomheder handler proaktivt. Virksomheder bør derfor gennemgå allerede indgåede kontrakter, som COVID-19 udbrud kan berøre og være opmærksomme på force majeure-klausulens ordlyd og dækning. Indeholder kontrakten ikke en force majeure-klausul, skal kontrakten undersøges for lovvalg og evt. jurisdiktion. Derudover bør virksomheder foretage en generel gennemgang af deres standardkontrakter og overveje, hvordan der fremadrettet kan tages højde for sundhedskriser, epidemier eller lignende sygdomsudbrud, karantæner/isolationer pålagt af offentlige myndigheder mv. i den samlede kontraktstyring. Virksomheder bør hertil overveje, om der er behov for ændring af force majeure-klausulen eller om man på anden vis specifikt skal regulere konsekvenserne af en sådan omstændighed i standardkontrakternes misligholdelsesbeføjelser. Fremadrettet vil det formentlig være sværere at påberåbe sig, at COVID-19 er en force majeure-begivenhed, da kravet om ’upåregnelig’ ikke længere vil være opfyldt som følge af det igangværende udbrud.

Morning meeting: price increases of IT supplies on 24 November at 8 - 10 a.m. — CO:PLAY and Globeteam invite you to a breakfast meeting where you can find out what your company can do if your IT supplier announces price increases. A number of our customers are facing a situation where their managed service or data centre provider has announced price increases, citing rising electricity prices. Electricity has long been perceived as a commodity supply that would only go down in price. Therefore, a number of contracts involving electricity consumption do not take into account the current situation. This gives rise to uncertainty and disputes that can test even solid customer-supplier relationships. The meeting focuses on when a supplier is allowed to adjust the contract price and in which cases not? Participation is free and all those interested in the subject are welcome Click here to register.
