In terms of main areas of practice, Lindahl’s transactional work (especially within private and public M&A, private equity, venture capital, Banking/Finance, and real estate), a lot of which is of cross-border nature, has been a key driver of Lindahl’s exceptional growth during recent years and represents, together with a considerably increasing number of dispute resolution mandates, a large and central part of the firm’s practice.
In an ever-changing world, we focus on continuously developing and modernizing our organization and skills to ensure Lindahl is the best possible partner for its clients. We are also dedicated to being the best possible employer where our colleagues and talents can grow, develop, and reach their full potential, in a friendly and respectful environment, with an ambition to create sustainable growth for the future. We achieve this by being straight-forward, unpretentious, and clear, whilst maintaining focus on business value.

Our ability to advance all aspects of diversity work is crucial to our talent supply, and therefore an important issue for our long-term and sustainable operations. We believe that engagement and gender equality are important for a good work environment. Lindahl has a clear principle that the assessment of all employees should be based on professional qualities and strictly on merit. Our work on gender equality is always guided by current developments in the field and proven experience. We want to encourage and help all employees to develop and reach their full potential, regardless of gender, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or any other aspect that is irrelevant to our professional practice. To achieve this, we work for a fair delegation of duties and have a clear framework for how lawyers, regardless of gender or other personal aspects, should be enabled to advance to a leading position at the same rate.
