Tax advisers are involved where needed.

A few useful answers
Can you help with one board decision or general meeting?
Yes. An assignment can focus on a single decision or meeting, including the resolutions, minutes and related corporate documents. You can also engage me for ongoing board and general meeting matters.
What kinds of resolutions under the Swedish Companies Act can you prepare?
I work broadly with corporate resolutions under the Swedish Companies Act, including documentation for ownership changes, restructurings, new share issues, warrants and convertible loans. We identify the decisions and documents needed for your particular arrangement.
Can you draft or negotiate a shareholders’ agreement?
Yes. I help with preparing, reviewing and negotiating shareholders’ agreements, taking the ownership structure, the founders’ and other owners’ intentions, and the commercial outcome into account.
Can you help us understand or update our cap table?
Yes. I work with cap tables alongside ownership arrangements and corporate documentation, including when an investment, share issue or incentive programme changes the ownership picture.
Do you work with both straightforward company structures and complex group structures?
Yes. The work ranges from an individual company decision to arrangements involving several companies and layers of ownership. The level of analysis and documentation follows the actual matter.
Can you connect our corporate structure to the business outcome we want?
Yes. I start with the intended outcome and work through how ownership, governance, agreements and corporate decisions can support it. This includes considering the commercial effects of the legal structure and discussing alternatives.
Can you help establish a new company or acquire a shelf company?
Yes. I help with forming new Swedish companies and acquiring shelf companies (Swedish: lagerbolag), including the corporate documentation and ownership arrangements needed for the intended business or structure.
Can you help restructure ownership within or outside a group?
Yes. I help with introducing holding companies, transferring shares within or outside a group, reorganising ownership between existing shareholders and bringing in new owners. The work connects the intended ownership structure with the agreements and corporate decisions needed to implement it. I coordinate with tax advisers where needed.
Do you work with complex ownership and financing structures?
Yes. I work with complex arrangements involving several companies, ownership layers and financing relationships. I help connect the ownership, financing documents, agreements and corporate decisions with the commercial outcome you want to achieve.
