Profile
Employment law. That is what I work with and it is my passion. Since 1998. My clients are employers, both foreign and Swedish. I assist them within all areas of employment and labour law, including disputes and discrimination cases.
I have worked with employment and labour law for Swedish and foreign employers since 1998. My guiding principle is to dare to be pragmatic and personal. And that my advice should always be tailored to our client’s individual business and operation. Because I know what it is like to apply employment and labour law “for real”. For several years, and in parallel with my employment and labour law practice, I was the MD/MP of Setterwalls.
My practice covers all parts of employment and labour law, everything from day-to-day issues relating to areas such as work environment, employment contracts and terminations (including issues relating to protection of the employer’s business, competition clauses and confidentiality), restructurings and company disposals to labour law disputes in court. A special interest is discrimination.
As I want my practice to be part of our clients’ world, I often hold seminars and lecture at or together with our clients or various networks on different subjects within employment and labour law. Another part of my external activities is my activity as a member of the Council of the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce, a member of the Board of the Swedish Bar Association and of its Education Board and within several associations and networks in my area.
