For 25 years, my work has consisted of helping Swedish and foreign companies and organisations, mainly within the areas EU and competition law, and with public sector contracts.
I have much experience of advising on competition law, acquisition control, public procurement, government support and anti-corruption, as well as special inquiries. Within these areas, I have acted as legal representative in court proceedings, in both national courts and the European Court of Justice, among them the well-known Gourmet case. When it comes specifically to competition law and acquisition control, I also have wide experience of contacts with the EU Commission and a large number of other European and international competition authorities. On the anti-corruption side, I have carried out several major surveys and self-cleaning court proceedings, in both Sweden and other countries. In the procurement area, I have assisted clients with strategic advice and implementation “from beginning to end” of some of the largest procurement processes in Sweden. Finally, I should mention that I have a special interest in social development projects, and I have participated in enquiries into high-speed trains, electrified lines and Hyperloop transports in Sweden and Finland.
I lecture regularly both in Sweden and abroad.
