Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • 'The team operates exceptionally smoothly and efficiently.'
  • 'Hanna Krutmeijer and Marika Jaaniste are highly efficient and service minded. Very structured in their work.'
  • ‘The team, led by Per Sundin, is serious and intelligent but also commercial and easy to work with. I have found that work is appropriately delegated with each team member taking responsibility for their aspect of the case and following up. I believe the cooperation between our two teams has been very valuable to the client and I believe this is because of the culture created by the partners Per and also Mattias Anjou.'

  • ‘I have been really impressed by the duo Andreas Johard and Marika Jaaniste. Andreas is a strategic thinker and has the courage to say to the client what should be done, and more importantly, what is not worthwhile. Marika is really thorough and effective and knows the facts of our rather complex case by heart.'

  • ‘Andreas Johard is an exceptional speaking partner. He is always available and works fast.'

  • ‘I have worked with the litigation team at Hammarskiold for over several years and have had excellent support both on technical Swedish law advice but also on practical and strategic advice dealing with agencies inside Sweden. The team's expertise and practice is focused on corporate clients which means they are specialist litigators. The advice provided is always punctual and clear and, considering it is in a second language, well drafted. The team members are personable and easy to work with and always take a no-nonsense commercial approach to matters which we raise with them.'

  • ‘A team with very high availability and a service mindset.'
