About

Bisnode is a Swedish corporation specialising in the provision of digital business, marketing and credit information. Led by group general counsel Peter Bergson, the Bisnode legal department currently consists of 10 lawyers. The legal function has been at the forefront of the company’s strategic decision-making, which include a proactive role in supporting the board of directors, M&A processes and risk mitigation. Bergson indicates that the legal department has provided a substantial contribution in supporting the company to operate in a virtual manner across several regions. As Bisnode continues to go through a transitional period, the legal department is increasingly relied upon to support the organisation and adapt their working methods in order to produce a single entity across Europe; a stark contrast to the previous model which consisted of several hundreds of independent companies.
