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.

This program gives students a meaningful insight into legal practice while supporting them in writing their thesis.

Summer Associate Program

Our six‑week Summer Associate Program allows law students to engage in practical legal work, participate in professional development sessions, and attend firm networking events. Each summer, we welcome approximately six law students who have completed at least their sixth semester. The program offers a unique opportunity to experience life at an international law firm and develop valuable legal skills.
