With one of Sweden’s largest employment law teams, led by Sofia Pedersen, MAQS is uniquely positioned to deliver robust, well‑resourced and business oriented advice tailored to each client’s specific situation.

Our clients are active in several different industries and consist of everything from multinational enterprises to smaller Swedish companies. We offer, among other things, advice in relations to reorganisations, redundancy situations, complex individual cases and M&A transactions – all to avoid future conflicts and costly litigations. We also provide advice and operational support to multinational companies with respect to all matters connected to European Works Councils and successful Global Mobility.

If your company is facing a lawsuit, we have many years of experience, both in court and through arbitration. The team also has solid experience of collective agreement issues such as negotiation and interpretation of local collective bargaining agreements. Other areas where we regularly advise our clients are internal investigations, working environment, personal data, trade secrets, loyalty questions, and benefits such as bonus and other incentive schemes.
