Testimonials
Collated independently by Legal 500 research team.
- ‘The Cederquist team demonstrates a high level of expertise. They are available and highly responsive to assist when we need them. This team functions as a strategic partner to us and delivers innovative and effective solutions to novel and complex matters. Their expertise spans from advising on all regulatory aspects relevant to our operations to representing us in regulatory disputes in Swedish courts.'
- ‘All positive results come from Annika Blomqvist and her team. Annika is competent, thorough, reliable, and available to you as a client. In the case we worked with her ability and strive to get the right wording in every detail of the legal issues, but also in any correspondence between us, the executives, and at the municipality contributed to getting a successful outcome.’
- ‘This firm stands out through its strong expertise in the medtech and life science sectors. What I value most is their deep understanding of the regulatory frameworks – both the Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and the pharmaceutical regulatory landscape – as well as the broader legal requirements that affect manufacturing and commercialisation.'
- ‘The team displayed exceptional expertise in healthcare law, data protection, commercial agreements, and regulatory negotiation. Compared to previous legal advisors, Cederquist was markedly more business-focused, proactive, and strategic in their approach. Their transparent communication regarding budget and timelines was also highly appreciated.’
- ‘Henrik Lindstrand stood out as an outstanding partner. He possesses deep legal knowledge—especially within IT law, data privacy, and healthcare regulation—and combines this with a pragmatic, business-oriented mindset. Henrik's ability to break down complex legal problems into actionable recommendations has been invaluable for us during tense negotiations with regional authorities.’
- ‘We have had the pleasure of working with Annika Blomqvist and Johanna Linder and can only speak positively about the experience. They bring great expertise, and we feel very confident and supported thanks to the professional guidance they provide.’
