The team at Hammarskiöld is frequently engaged in HR-related investigations, large-scale restructurings, and union consultations. The group is also well-regarded for its day-to-day HR issue advice, including drafting and negotiating employment agreements and setting up incentive schemes. The 'exceptional' Erik Löfwall heads up the team and regularly advises private equity funds, venture capital clients, and other financial investors. Sandra Kaznova is a key contact for dispute resolution mandates. Anton Sjöberg also plays a central role in the team.
