Diversity and inclusion are fundamental to how we operate as a firm. We are convinced that a workplace where everyone feels respected, valued and included fosters stronger collaboration, drives innovation and ultimately delivers better results — for our clients, our people and society at large. By actively promoting diversity in all its forms and building an inclusive culture, we strengthen both our business and our responsibility as a leading law firm.
Our 40:40:20 gender diversity target for partners – 40% women, 40% men, and 20% flexible (women, men, or non-binary) – reflects our diversity commitment. We aim to achieve this by 2033 through actively promoting women and underrepresented groups within our partnership. We recruit more female associates than male and are focused on fostering an environment that supports their progression to senior associate and partner levels.
Recognising that the legal sector in Sweden lacks broader presentation, we launched Study for Life, our mentoring programme for high school students whose parents may not have had access to higher education in Sweden or who come from diverse educational backgrounds. Over two years, students are paired with mentors from our firm and clients and participate in study visits, inspirational lectures, and practical skill-building activities. This reflects our goal of contributing to greater diversity in universities and the business community.
For 23 consecutive years, Swedish law students have voted us the most desirable law firm to work for (Universum’s The Company Barometer – Sweden’s largest student survey), a recognition we attribute to our collaborative culture and team spirit.
