03Do you work with small Swedish business owners?

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.

04How are you different from a traditional law firm?

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.

05Do you collaborate with other advisors?

06How do you work with AI?

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

10Can you provide second opinions or limited scope input?

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.
