Fohlin Law (Sw. Advokatfirman Håkan Fohlin) is an internationally oriented independent law firm with a focus on corporate law, merger & acquisitions, and commercial contracts.
Clients of any size are welcome to use my extensive experience and network within cross-border transactions, venture capital, private equity and more.
After a 35-year career at one of Sweden’s most distinguished law firms, I’ve opened my own legal practice to continue supporting Swedish and international clients.

2) – Article in the Swedish Bar Association’s magazine Advokaten (Aug 2024), ”The Dramatic Evolution of the Swedish Law Industry: Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow”. In this retrospective overview, Håkan Fohlin revisits themes from his 1999 article, “The New Market for Business Law: A Gigantic Challenge for Small and Medium-Sized Law Firms”, offering insights into the changes that have shaped the legal landscape over the past few decades. He also provides ”an intriguing forecast on what the future might hold for business law firms”.
Serving clients of any size, I advise in day-to-day matters as well as in extraordinary situations, such as bringing the sale of a business to a closing or onboarding new investors or stakeholders onto a venture. I collaborate with international law firms on
inbound and outbound referrals, often involving the US, India, China, and other Asian nations.
When a broader team is required to cover certain specializations or larger assignments, external domestic or international lawyers are brought in. My network is extensive due to continuously attending International Bar Association Conferences and decades of work within The World Law Group, a Chambers-ranked-Elite international network of law firms, where I served on the board for six years.
Note selection of my disclosable track record, including the VC&PE-TECH segment and clients such as Alibaba, Tata, Moody’s, Harvard and Silicon Valley VC-firms.
