Baker McKenzie’s Equity Capital Markets team in Stockholm is recognized among the leading equity capital markets practices in Sweden, with a long and consistent track record at the top of the market across IPOs, follow on offerings and complex public transactions.

The team is distinguished by its strong and institutional relationships with Nordic and international banks and its ability to execute cross border transactions, frequently involving US elements, by combining Swedish, UK and US capital markets expertise under one platform. From an industry perspective, its practice is particularly strong within the healthcare and technology sectors. It regularly advises research‑driven pharmaceutical and life sciences issuers as well as fast‑growing technology and game development companies on the most intricate and nuanced transactions.

It has held a longstanding leading position in Swedish equity capital markets league tables, including repeated top tier rankings for investment bank representation. The team’s vast experience — gained from a steady flow of a wide range of equity capital markets work over the past 15 years — makes the team an ideal choice for complex transaction structures.
