Overview

Our lawyers in Sweden advise clients on some of the most significant transactions in the Nordic region, such as advising Olink in its USD 3.1 billion sale to Thermo Fisher Scientific, Petronas in the acquisition of Perstorp and Dun & Bradstreet in the acquisition of Bisnode. No other law firm in the Swedish market offers Nordic clients the same link to North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America and EMEA as we do.

Building on our long commitment to social and environmental responsibility, Baker McKenzie’s Stockholm office has been environmentally certified in accordance with ISO 14001 since June 2013, and was recertified in 2022 to the newly revised ISO 14001:2015. In addition, our operations in Stockholm have since 2020 achieved net zero emissions of greenhouse gases.
