‘We have been working with Magnusson for about 5 years. The most important thing which we get from Magnusson’s employment team is that when it is evaluating situations, it not only comes up with formal legal solutions or proposals but also thinks about how our company’s decisions (based on those proposals) will affect the business, financial costs and the image of the company as the employer. The employment team works very professionally, and is focused on the specific result and the need of the client.’

Another thing is that Rita knows our needs, thus she keeps us updated with the information that is really useful for us (not just general legal facts).’
