About the firm and our vision
BoB Advokater is run by Bo Berndtsson, a lawyer with extensive experience of providing qualified business law advice to companies, management teams and boards. During his career as in-house counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and outside counsel, Bo has worked closely with businesses across several different industries, with a particular focus on risk management, business ethics and compliance, as well as business law matters such as corporate law and corporate governance, M&A and contractual matters.
BoB Advokater is an independent boutique law firm offering senior and personal advice in complex and often sensitive situations – while also providing practical and hands-on advice in key areas of business law. The firm combines solid legal expertise with a strong understanding of business and experience of the realities of large corporations. This makes it possible to offer flexible arrangements, ranging from ongoing advice to more structured and long-term collaborations.
Our vision is to provide legal advice that can be put directly into practice, based on the actual needs of your business and helping you make well-informed decisions. Our advice is always tailored to the situation, clear and designed to work in practice – not just in theory.
