SWEDEN - Roschier Holmberg opens permanent office in Stockholm

The development of the Stockholm office is proceeding according to plan. Set up in October 2005, the office will move to its new, renovated premises at Hamngatan 27 (Sverigehuset).

According to Roschier's chairman of the board Tomas Lindholm the Stockholm office has had a steady workload since the initial team was established in October. 'Recruitment has also been very successful. We have previously expressed an aim to have a team of around 15 lawyers by Easter, and this looks very likely to materialize. At the moment we have 14 lawyers and five support team members in our staff,' Lindholm adds.

The latest recruitment to join Roschier's Stockholm partner team is Jens Bengtsson. Bengtsson has specialised in corporate law as well as mergers and acquisitions and is known particularly for his skills and experience in private equity transactions. He is ranked as one of the top-three private equity lawyers in Sweden. Bengtsson has a background as a partner at the Stockholm office of international law firm Linklaters.

For Bengtsson, the move represents an opportunity to take on new challenges.
'I look forward to participating in building something new. Roschier is a very professionally-managed firm with a mindset and values that I can relate to. I strongly believe in their Northern-European strategy,' Bengtsson notes.
