Johan worked most recently at E.ON as in-house counsel for 10 years, focusing on construction law. In addition to significant experience in legislative matters in the energy sector involving both electricity and gas networks, Johan also has extensive knowledge of the unregulated field of distance heating plants and the energy sector as a whole. During his years at E.ON, he participated in negotiations on several transactions in the energy sector as well as agreements governing the construction of heating plants and large combined heating and power plants, turbine contracts, gas filling stations, and production facilities for biogas.

– I wanted to join Foyen because the firm has a unique and strong position in the energy sector in Sweden, with cutting-edge expertise throughout the entire real estate area. With my background in the energy industry and expertise in construction law, among other areas, I look forward to being a part of the firm and to helping it grow, says Johan Bogren.

Johan’s legal career also includes several years of practice as an attorney (Advokat) at Mannheimer Swartling where his primary areas of practice covered corporate acquisitions, company law, and general civil law.
