A Job That Counts!

With us, you contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses.

About the Job

At the bankruptcy supervision, we oversee that the bankruptcy administration is conducted correctly and in accordance with applicable law. As a lawyer at the bankruptcy supervision, you actively work to ensure that the bankruptcy administration is quick, lawful, and efficient. You work with large parts of central civil law, particularly with qualified insolvency law and labor law. Your workday is varied. You conduct legal investigations, write opinions to the court, and monitor that the bankruptcy administration is carried out appropriately, which may involve visits to bankrupt companies and trustee offices, litigation in court, and more.

You review documents and have extensive contacts with trustees, courts, and external actors. You need to be comfortable speaking in front of groups. We are a small process, which means you are expected to participate in the unit's development work. In the coming year, we are preparing for a new bankruptcy procedure that will come into effect on July 1, 2026. This means that our mission will be broadened, and we will take over several tasks from the country's courts.

Everyone working at the Swedish Enforcement Authority contributes to the fight against crime. Your duties include identifying and preventing attempts at criminal activity and notifying other authorities of suspected crimes. As a lawyer, you can collaborate with actors in the bankruptcy area on crime prevention issues. You may also discover and report suspected money laundering. This can result in you contributing to ensuring that the Swedish Enforcement Authority is not used as a tool for crime.

Possible locations are Sundbyberg, Jönköping, Gävle, or Umeå.

About Us

The Swedish Enforcement Authority is a government agency with an important mission. We work closely with people in vulnerable situations. We assist those who have not been paid and guide those who need to pay. We provide citizens and businesses with information and good service so they can make long-term and sustainable decisions. This requires knowledge, decisiveness, care, and courage. We contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses – a society where debts and other claims are established and collected in a legally secure manner.

With us, you can expect challenging tasks that are also developmental for you. When you leave work at the end of the day, you can be sure that you have done something that really counts – both for others and for yourself.

Good to Know

The employment is permanent and begins with a six-month probationary period. You will be employed as a lawyer. The Swedish Enforcement Authority offers the possibility of remote work by agreement with the employer.

Working in the government means that you follow the government’s value base. There are also specific requirements for judgment, security thinking, and compliance with applicable laws. We ask questions during the interview about any previous criminal activity and shortcomings in previous employment. For final candidates, these questions are also posed to referees. We also collect information about debts registered with the Swedish Enforcement Authority, bankruptcy, and business prohibitions. The information obtained will be considered in the overall assessment of your suitability for the position.

Employment with us may involve placement in a security class. A security review with a background check according to the Security Protection Act (2018:585) may therefore be conducted before a decision on employment. For some of our tasks in the security class, Swedish citizenship is required.
