Frequently asked questions.
About the engagement, collaboration and approach.
01What does Liljedahl Advisory do?
I provide high-end legal advice in private M&A, primarily in Swedish share and asset deals. I assist both buyers and sellers throughout the transaction process – from deal structuring and due diligence to negotiation and drafting of agreements.

I work with both Swedish and international buyers and sellers – including private equity firms, industrial buyers, and entrepreneurs. My clients value availability, speed, commercial and pragmatic thinking, and legally precise yet market-standard documentation.

Yes, I do. Helping a business owner prepare for a future exit – and increasing the value of the business along the way – is very much part of my core offering.

I run an independent boutique. That means you work directly with a senior advisor – no handoffs to juniors unless explicitly requested. I'm not a traditional law firm and don't provide all legal services that larger firms do. However, I collaborate with other firms to ensure you always get the answers you need through me.

Yes. I frequently work alongside financial advisors, auditors, consultants, and both Swedish and international law firms. I can also put together tailored advisory teams depending on your deal.

I use AI for structuring, analysing and comparing materials. Results are checked against the sources. AI never replaces my legal judgment, prioritisation or advice.

I work fluently in both English and Swedish.

I never bill by the hour. My fees are normally fixed and agreed in advance. Depending on the case, I may also work on a contingency fee or for sweat equity.

Absolutely. I'm happy to assist, as long as it's within my area of expertise. I never take on assignments unless I'm confident I can deliver. That said – feel free to reach out. If I'm not the right lawyer for the matter, I have a strong network of trusted advisors I can refer you to.
