International & Cross-Border Capabilities

Chambers Review

Bird & Bird has a highly reputable global brand for its work in developing and regulated industries and a global industry focus on technology and life sciences. The Swedish team closely follows the firm's overall sector-focused model and has built a credible reputation in Sweden across areas such as M&A, TMT, IP and employment, with cross-border corporate work in the media sector and project-managing GDPR projects often being sources of cross-border work. It receives praise both from Swedish clients with outbound matters and from foreign investors introduced to the team by the firm's other international offices, particularly London and other major financial centres in Europe.

The team in Stockholm is praised for its good synchronisation with the firm's other offices in Finland and Denmark, which also have a strong focus on TMT and IP. The office in Sweden also offers clients in the country's burgeoning tech industry strong links to the firm's excellent European platform, which appeals to a broad range of globalising companies, particularly those involved in software, online media, e-commerce and telecoms.
