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 bankruptcy administration is conducted correctly and in accordance with applicable laws. 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 to the court, and supervise that the bankruptcy administration is managed appropriately, which may involve visits to companies in bankruptcy and at trustee offices, litigation in court, among other tasks.

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 broaden, 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 tasks include identifying and preventing attempts at criminal activity and notifying other authorities about suspected crimes. As a lawyer, you may collaborate with actors in the bankruptcy field on crime prevention issues. You may also detect 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.

Working in the state means that you follow the state value framework. There are also specific requirements for judgment, security awareness, and compliance with applicable laws. We ask questions during the interview about any previous criminal activity and deficiencies in previous employment. For final candidates, these questions are also asked of references.

Information obtained will be considered in the overall assessment of your suitability for the current 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 hiring decision is made. For some of our tasks in the security class, Swedish citizenship is required.
