Overview

TM & Partners advises Swedish and foreign clients in connection with acquisitions and disposals of, as well as investments into, both companies and businesses across a broad range of sectors.

Our client base consists mainly of private equity and venture capital funds, industrial companies, investment banks and other financial advisors. Many of our clients are foreign companies, and we benefit from extensive experience from involvement in cross-border transactions.

Our practice encompasses all types of sale, purchase and investment transactions, such as leveraged buy-outs, trade sales, private equity deals and venture capital investments, both within the context of controlled auctions and bilateral negotiations. We advise across the full spectrum of deals and issues, from the structuring, negotiation and completion of all forms of venture financings to providing legal support in all phases of large and complex cross-border takeovers.

Lead times in controlled auctions are frequently short, and this places particularly high demands on the understanding of both the process and transactional law. The client enjoys a decisive advantage in having TM & Partners partners engaged in every step of their M&A transaction.

The partners in the practice group have cultivated their experience working at other leading law firms in Stockholm, Hong Kong and Moscow, and from holding senior legal positions at Swedish and foreign multinational corporations.
