Roschier’s corporate and M&A practice stands out for its expertise in major transactions; the group’s recent representation of AI-powered global payment network Klarna in connection with the carve-out and divestment of Klarna Checkout is a recent highlight. Private M&A practice head Malin Leffler has considerable experience in the tobacco, media, and retail sectors, amongst others. Pontus Enquist heads the firm’s public M&A and private funds practice. Noted particularly for his experience handling large-cap PTOs, Jens Bengtsson leads the private equity team, while Ola Sandersson heads the corporate advisory department. Strong in the energy and investment sectors, Björn Winström plays a key role in the private M&A team, as does Markus Olsson, with notable recent activity in the fintech and auto spaces. Christoffer Benninge and Leo Lee are also key contacts.
