Klaus Hansted

I've been working in M&A since I joined Clearwater in 2013. I'm proud that together with my team members at Clearwater, we have built one of the most successful M&A practices in Denmark. Our success is built on thinking outside the box, combined with hard work, and always putting the customer's needs first. I advise Danish and international clients in M&A, primarily focusing on the industrial sector.

Lars Thorup Gregersen

Since 2006, I've primarily advised owner-managers, particularly in the consumer, healthcare, and business services sectors. I'm motivated not only by the transactional work itself but also by the discussions leading up to the transaction and the dialogue with owners on where they want to take their companies. The positive energy and informal atmosphere, combined with focused and professional guidance, are what make Clearwater truly special to me. The varied work of advising many different types of owner-managers in significant decisions and the entrepreneurial spirit that characterises both our clients and us is what drives me every day.

Alexandre Forget

I co-manage Clearwater's activity in the Mediterranean region, alongside Emmanuel Xerri. Following a career in large cap companies in London working for CIBC Capital Markets, I quickly moved into the small and mid-cap segment working for Degroof Petercam, CIC Conseil and then Clairfield International to advise families and shareholders on their strategic considerations. Our goal is to accompany our clients over the long term, by reconciling our technical expertise of the large cap market with tailor-made solutions which meet the specificities and challenges of SMEs. I have advised on more than 30 transactions, including the sale of Markal, a major player in organic food, to FrenchFood Capital, the sale of Laboratoire BioCasamance, a medical analysis laboratory, to Eurofins, the sale of Bio&Co, an organic distribution network, to InVivo, the acquisition of Maxicoffee, a coffee roaster and e-commerce business, by the Daltys group, BPI France and the Qatar sovereign wealth fund’s (QIA) investment in Alstef Group, an Industry 4.0 logistics solutions company, and the refinancing of laser cutting business GL Groupe and PSD, a pharmaceutical group. I am convinced that Clearwater's three-dimensional approach of sector expertise, regional proximity and international footprint is a differentiator for our clients.
