Firm Overview:

Overview: Mannheimer Swartling is the largest law firm in the Nordics and is a leading adviser in the premium segment for business law in Sweden. Its full-service practice is unique for Sweden in that the lawyers have a high degree of specialisation, work in dedicated practice groups and are genuine leaders in their fields. The firm can therefore cover all the specialist advice needs of its clients - of any size or complexity - in-house.

Culture and Pure Lockstep:

Mannheimer Swartling’s culture naturally lends itself to knowledge-sharing and seamless cooperation between colleagues, practice groups and offices. Its “Pure Lockstep” partnership model means that each assignment is seen as the whole firm’s assignment. No matter where in the firm a mandate begins, the resources of the whole 460-lawyer strong firm are only a step or a phone call away. This model also creates the best conditions for the firm's employees to thrive and develop and ultimately allows them to serve clients with the very highest quality legal advice.
