Vacant job

Join our team

We are looking for you, whether you are already a lawyer or at least a senior associate, and can become a lawyer in a short time. We are looking for someone with an interest in working as a defense attorney in criminal cases, preferably with a focus on economic crime.

We currently have a very large influx of highly interesting cases with an economic crime character, such as serious insider trading offenses, money laundering, tax crimes, bribery, and complex fraud. In addition, we handle all types of criminal cases, from the most minor to the most serious.

What we are looking for in you

We are looking for someone who appreciates both qualified legal work and has a great interest in people. You are a team player who can also take great personal responsibility and work completely independently in parts.

Perhaps you are currently a lawyer at a commercial law firm but are curious about using your lawyer title for something more exciting. Or are you already employed at a law firm with a criminal law focus, but looking for new challenges? Or perhaps you are a prosecutor and want to switch sides in the courtroom?

It is important that you are curious, engaged, and ready to stand up for your clients when it really matters.

To succeed in the role, we believe you have:

• a Swedish law degree,
• a lawyer's title (or that you can hold a lawyer's title within 12 months),
• an interest in becoming a defense attorney in criminal cases and preferably also an interest in economic crime, and
• fluency in Swedish and English.

Who are we?

The law firm was founded in 2024 by two founders with a shared conviction that really good criminal defense is built on engagement, responsibility, and humanity. We started on a small scale but with high ambitions to become one of the leading criminal law firms in Sweden.

Since the start, we have grown quickly, but without compromising on anything that has been important from the beginning. Today, we are a tightly knit team of five people housed in fantastic premises in Gamla Stan, Stockholm.

Here you will work closely with skilled colleagues and all kinds of clients, with great personal responsibility and short decision-making paths. We have great ambitions to continue growing and developing, while we value quality, long-term perspective, and a work environment where everyone thrives and can develop over time. High legal quality and good judgment characterize our work, while the work environment is relaxed, pleasant, and family-like.

Our employees have backgrounds from other criminal law firms, courts, commercial law firms, and the Swedish Armed Forces.

We work with various types of criminal cases, primarily defense assignments, mostly in the Stockholm region but occasionally anywhere in Sweden. We travel quite often from time to time.

Our hope is to be able to offer you a very exciting career with good opportunities to develop as a criminal defense lawyer.
