ADVOKATFIRMAN BERG

Advokatfirman Berg has been founded by well-established members of the Swedish Bar Association (‘attorneys’ or in Swedish ‘advokater’) who for many years had been specialising in the fields of law in which we operate. These attorneys had previously worked at law offices having both a business law and personal law focus. The underlying structure, organisation and competence of our law offices enables us to effectively deal with all the assignments entrusted to our attorneys.
