Testimonials

Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.

  • ‘The service I received from Per Westman and his team based out of Stockholm was exceptional. What Per and his team offered was a perfect blend of sharing information with me as the client to provide a requisite level of 'local' knowledge combined with the ability to just 'get on' and undertake the actions locally where they deemed this an appropriate course of action. That, when coupled with a very proactive communication stance, meant for a really first-class service as it gave me the outcomes I needed, via a very credible and capable source.'

  • ‘Per Westman and Rebecca Farkhooy form a world-class service team who help with both international and local M&A advice, employment law and internal investigation regarding employee concerns.’

  • ‘Per Westman's proactivity, accuracy, ownership, expertise and service focus really make the difference.’

  • ‘Having worked mostly with Per Westman, I am super confident in all the guidance he gives me. He always responds quickly. If a labour law process is guided from start by Per, I know it will follow all regulations and at the same time fall out how the employer wants for it to fall out.'

  • ‘As a large multinational corporation, we appreciate the Eversheds lawyers we work with for the accessibility, the efficient support and the ability to adopt and assess cases using the corporate policies along with legislation. Our trusted Eversheds team in Stockholm has helped us out for years with employment law advice. The fact finding process, respectful treatment of employees and the report drafting including legal assessment and recommendations have been extraordinary high quality.’

  • ‘A highly professional team with both a broad and deep field of knowledge in employment law.’
