About

Microsoft’s corporate, external and legal affairs (CELA) department in Sweden is an integrated part of the wider Western Europe team. The Western Europe legal team is led by assistant general counsel Mathias Strand who is based in Sweden. Microsoft’s CELA department in Sweden is a top-notch team formed by talented individuals who are dedicated to a customer-centric approach while having diversity, inclusion and compliance as core pillars. Consisting of two lawyers, one paralegal, one government affairs professional as well as one AI bot, the Swedish legal team supports the commercial activities of Microsoft in the country and is headed by Sara Wikström Jattu as the legal lead. During the past few years, the team has been involved in the biggest digital transformation and cloud computing deals in Sweden. By ensuring clarity and transparency, customers are supported by making risk and vulnerability assessments when it comes to data management, security and privacy compliance. The Swedish team is also proud to partner with White & Case in the pro bono project – Legal Help 4 Integration. The project aims to contribute to the integration into Swedish society of those who have been forced to flee their homes by offering free legal advice and assistance with company start-ups, and legal issues relating to employment and education, to those who have recently been granted a residence permit in Sweden. In Strand’s words, ‘the team prides itself as a lean, cutting-edge and forward-leaning power team with experience and involvement in all business sectors from banking and finance, manufacturing and retail, to public sector, education and healthcare, to mention a few. The team has adopted a growth mindset with a solution oriented approach and is at the epicentre of crucial topics around privacy, GDPR, cybersecurity and AI and ethics. The team is focused on external engagement and is well represented in panels and speaking opportunities all over the country’.
