AG Advokat‘s practice is home to a deep bench of construction specialists. The team’s workload includes property development, public procurement proceedings and dispute resolution, and the department garners praise as ’the best in the country in contract law’, an area bolstered by the recruitment of contract law expert Erika Björkdahl in March 2023. The highly experienced practitioner Håkan Bjerle advises on a diverse range of construction projects, and has an excellent reputation for handling construction litigation and arbitration. Anders Skägg and Elin Schedin are well versed in contract drafting and project development matters.
