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 swift, 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 for the court, and supervise that the bankruptcy administration is carried out appropriately, which may involve visits to companies in bankruptcy and to 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 assignment will broaden, and we will take over several tasks from the country's courts.

Everyone working at the Enforcement Authority contributes to the fight against crime. Your job responsibilities include identifying and preventing attempts at crime and notifying other authorities of suspected crimes. As a lawyer, you can, for example, collaborate with actors in the bankruptcy field on crime prevention issues. You can also detect and report suspected money laundering. This may result in your contribution to ensuring that the Enforcement Authority is not used as a tool for crime.

Work location is Gothenburg or Örebro.
