Setterwalls’ employment practice handles a broad range of matters, ranging from the employment aspects of M&A and restructurings on the transactional side, to workplace harassment and discrimination claims on the contentious side. Having advised domestic and international companies for more than 20 years, Åsa Erlandsson leads the team alongside Henrik Kjellander, who is noted particularly for his experience in TUPE and M&A-related employment matters. Specialist counsel Emmelie Tedfelt acts in disputes concerning disloyal employees, trade secret issues, and intellectual property matters.
