International & Cross-Border Capabilities

Chambers Review

Hannes Snellman is a Nordic law firm which has a strong cross-border practice within the region, with strong appeal due to its established presence in Sweden and Finland. The law firm's presence across those two jurisdictions means it regularly takes on international work for Nordic banks and private equity funds, with cross-office teams in Stockholm and Helsinki also acting on outbound acquisitions for Swedish and Finnish companies engaging in international M&A and investments.

The law firm's team in Sweden predominantly focuses on core transactional practice areas, with respected teams across corporate, merger clearance and private equity buyouts. It is often noted for its cross-border work on financing matters, typically acting as Swedish counsel on complex global issues in conjunction with overseas counsel and teaming up with other law firms from the USA, the UK and elsewhere in Europe. As well as the law firm's Nordic presence, clients also note its assistance on cross-jurisdictional mandates involving Baltic and Eastern European countries such as Latvia and Poland. The Swedish team's representation of local and foreign clients in international arbitration centres across Europe is also praised.
