To date, we have advised on over a thousand transactions, many with values exceeding one billion SEK. In addition to this, we have helped both general and limited partners to raise or invest in several hundred private equity funds as well as funds for alternative assets. In addition, we have been involved in disputes from virtually every angle of a private equity transaction.
In connection to M&A transactions, we frequently act as legal advisors for private equity funds, industrial players, entrepreneurs and foreign law firms and have experience from over a thousand transactions. Clients come to us because they appreciate our philosophy, the high partner attention and small, dedicated and experienced teams. We aim to have the same team for due diligence, first drafts of the transaction documentation and negotiations. In our experience, this expedites the process, and makes sure time and resources can be utilized efficiently.
