A Novation Agreement transfers both rights and obligations from one party to another, creating a fresh contract that replaces the original one. Under Danish contract law, all parties must actively consent to this switch - including the original parties and the new one stepping in.

Danish businesses often use these agreements during company mergers, when transferring commercial leases, or reassigning major contracts. Unlike a simple assignment which only transfers rights, novation creates a clean break - the original party steps away completely, and the new party takes over all responsibilities. The Danish legal system recognizes novation as particularly useful for complex commercial arrangements where ongoing obligations need to transfer smoothly.

Use a Novation Agreement when you need to transfer both rights and duties in a contract to a completely new party in Denmark. Common triggers include selling part of your business, transferring major supplier relationships, or restructuring company obligations. The agreement helps ensure a clean handover where the new party steps fully into the original party's shoes.

These agreements prove especially valuable during corporate mergers, commercial lease transfers, and construction project handovers. Danish law requires explicit consent from everyone involved, making Novation Agreements essential for complex transitions. They protect all parties by clearly documenting who takes over which obligations and releasing the original party from future liability.

A Novation Agreement differs significantly from an Assignment Agreement, though both involve transferring rights in contracts under Danish law. The key distinctions lie in their scope and legal effect.

• Transfer Scope: Novation transfers both rights and obligations to a new party, while Assignment only transfers rights, leaving original obligations with the first party
• Consent Requirements: Novation requires explicit consent from all parties involved, while Assignment often needs approval only from the transferring party
• Legal Effect: Novation creates a new contract and terminates the old one completely, while Assignment keeps the original contract intact
• Risk Profile: Novation provides cleaner breaks and fewer ongoing liabilities, making it preferred for complex commercial transfers in Denmark
• Documentation Needs: Novation requires more comprehensive documentation to prove all parties' agreement to the complete transfer
