I am especially interested in contract law, but I assist our clients with other business law related assignments as well.

Before finalising my LL.M. and joining Norra as a lawyer in the autumn 2020 I used to work on product development projects for almost 20 years. During that career I have experienced several times the path from an idea to a product from many different perspectives including requirement specifications, subcontracting, manufacturing capability and product quality, regulatory and authority requirements as well as project management points of view.

A practical legal question is hardly ever just legal, but it is connected to the challenges that a company faces in its various areas of operation. A skilful legal solution often requires a broader perspective that recognises the surrounding operating environment. Now that I am able to combine the juridical tools with the knowledge and experience previously gained, I have got excellent qualifications to respond to the diverse challenges that our clients meet in their operations.
