A&O Shearman on Danske Bank’s public interest judicial agreement

On September 18, 2024, the President of the Paris Judicial Tribunal approved the public interest judicial agreement entered into on 27 August 2024 between the Financial Public Prosecutor and Danske Bank A/S.

This CJIP (“Convention Judiciaire d'Intérêt Public” i.e. a French-style deferred prosecution agreement (DPA)) follows the global resolution of a matter that has been facing Danske Bank for years, including in Denmark, the U.K., France, and the U.S.

The A&O Shearman team in Paris, with litigation and investigations partners Denis Chemla and Dan Benguigui, counsel Paul Fortin and senior associate Rebecca Harris, assisted and represented Danske Bank from the outset of these proceedings through to the negotiations that have now led to the termination of the public prosecution against Danske Bank.
