Mergers and acquisitions (M&A)
M&A is one of the firm's key practice areas. We have expertise in the acquisition and sale of companies and businesses in Sweden and abroad and regularly assist in complex transactions in a wide range of industries. We assist our clients throughout the process, both on the seller and buyer side, with advice on structural and strategic issues, pre-agreements, due diligence, drafting and negotiation of agreements and handle all issues up to closing with access and post-closing issues.
If a transaction requires specific expertise that is not available in-house, we can immediately put together a team of reputable specialists who share our approach to providing high-quality and cost-effective advice.

Dispute resolution
We have extensive experience in representing clients in arbitration and in court in all types of commercial disputes. We assist our clients in disputes concerning e.g. investments, mergers and acquisitions, construction, corporate matters, compulsory acquisition, directors' liability, commercial contracts, damages and insurance.
Large and complex civil cases require the ability to quickly grasp and understand complex issues, often of a financial and technical nature. We have extensive experience in areas other than litigation and have staff who have served in lower and higher courts, including as judges. We assess the potential for success at an early stage and advise on strategic considerations.

Our advice covers the full range of corporate law aspects that may arise in or affect our clients' businesses, such as establishment, board issues, liability issues, general meetings, mergers, new issues, restructurings, liquidations, capital increases, investments, shareholders' agreements, joint ventures and redemption issues.
Our advice also includes board issues, assistance at general meetings and issues related to corporate governance. In addition, we undertake other types of fiduciary duties such as special examiner under the Companies Act.
