Why I work with business law

Being involved in building successful businesses is very inspiring. Creating the conditions and seeing it happen. Going from idea to reality.

For me, law is an opportunity and a tool, not an obstacle. It is most successful when law works together with management, finance, marketing and technology. Litigation and arbitration are rarely profitable ways to resolve business disputes. My basic professional idea is therefore to work at the forefront of creating good legal structures for clients through careful work in preparation, strategies, project management, negotiations and contract writing.

My background

After a number of fantastic years in the 80s in Lund with studies and Lundaspex, I became a lawyer in 1990 and a lawyer in 1995. I soon became involved in real estate law, company law and IT law. But I came straight into the numbing recession in the early 1990s when financial companies suspended payments and the large commercial banks suffered extensive credit losses. All this affected the real estate sector in particular. I had to work a lot with company restructurings and composition solutions. This gave me a sad but useful insight into the importance of the law of claims and insolvency law.

I have worked as a partner at Advokatfirman NORDIA where I during the 2010s was involved in building up the firm's office operations in Oslo, Copenhagen, Helsinki and Gothenburg. I was part of the firm's real estate law and IP law working group.

In recent years, I have worked as a corporate lawyer and as an independent consultant in real estate development cases.

My areas of expertise

During my 30 years of legal practice, I have come into contact with most business areas, but my focus remains on real estate law where I concentrate mainly on the following types of cases:

- Construction law
- Real estate formation
- Property transactions
- Commercial rent, leasehold and other property rights
- Trademark exploitation
- Liens and security interests
- Planning and construction law, environmental law
