Profile

I am a partner in the banking and finance practice group and specialized in financial regulatory issues.

I have 15 years of experience working with financial regulatory matters and financial services related legal topics. I have had specialist and managerial roles at Finansinspektionen (the Swedish FSA) and have extensive experience of for instance licensing and supervisory issues concerning financial institutions such as banks, securities companies and funds and the market in which they operate. My primary focus has been the rules concerning trading in the securities market, investment firms, the financial infrastructure and insurance distributors.
