About

Provided by Born

Our knowledge and experience of the real estate sector is unique, and we consider ourselves to be leaders in the segment. As advisors to the leading real estate companies and property profiles in Sweden, we have actively participated in the development of the Swedish real estate sector over the last 40 years.

We are regular participants in the largest and most high-profile real estate transactions in Sweden, and our lawyers top the lists published by the leading independent ranking institutes. We are also consistently listed among the firms with the highest number of completed real estate transactions in Sweden, based on the underlying property value. We believe that our passion for business deals is a contributing factor to our success.

Despite our focus on real estate transactions, our advice also includes other issues related to real estate, such as commercial leases, development agreements, land registration issues, stamp duty issues, etc.
