I’m originally from Gothenburg, on the Swedish West Coast. I took military service for a year before starting my legal studies at Uppsala University. As an exchange student at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, I decided I’d like to work at a British law firm.
I joined the Linklaters office in Stockholm around two years ago, and quickly discovered that we combine the best of two worlds. On the one hand, we’re part of the global Linklaters network, which means we have access to great clients, cases and resources. On the other hand, the Stockholm office is small enough that everybody knows each other by name, and we often have lunch together.
Above all, it’s a very professional environment. Everybody, from the Business Teams to the most senior lawyer, is exceptionally skillful, driven and passionate about what we do.
Working in Tax, we play an absolutely crucial role. We’re often the driver when it comes to performing transactions and getting the deal done. All-in-all, my advice to students embarking on a law career is simple: join us. Linklaters is the ideal place to jump-start your career.
