DLA Piper assisted OpSec Security with the acquisition of Zacco

OpSec Security is a world leader in brand authentication and integrity with a heritage that spans four decades. The combined business will count IP management professionals, software engineers, optical scientists, data analysts, and product designers among its global employees. 

The acquisition of the leading intellectual property management company, Zacco, will bring opportunities to combine skills and knowledge in new ways. With a shared customer base of significant global brands, the ability to offer an expanded portfolio will create new reasons to remain with or move to OpSec.

DLA Piper assisted OpSec Security with all Danish and Swedish tax aspects related to the acquisition, including due diligence and structuring.

The matter demonstrates the strong cross-border collaboration within the Nordics at DLA Piper.

The combined Danish and Swedish DLA Piper tax team consisted of Jakob Schilder-Knudsen, Erik Björkeson, Mario Fernandez, Adam Tideman, and Ingólfur Örn Ingólfsson.
