Girion Blomdahl
Counsel, Member of the Swedish Bar AssociationProfile
I have worked since 2005 with real estate and environmental law, except for a break of just over four years, when I served as Judge. In view of my time as Judge, I also specialise in procedural law. I have recently defended my PhD-dissertation “Who owns Nature?”
I work within a broad field of real estate related matters. The work involves court proceedings, transactions (real estate and share transfers), general advice, leasehold and other usufructs and public real estate law matters, such as cadastral proceedings and planning issues. More unusual issues, such as rights emanating from prescription and land parceling based on the old land division reforms, also end up on my table. Within environmental law, I deal primarily with issues of polluted land and transaction-centered environmental law. To this is added procedural law advice in legal proceedings in public courts.
