What DLA Piper Sweden does

DLA Piper Sweden operates as the Swedish arm of the global DLA Piper law firm network, providing comprehensive business law services to corporate clients from its Stockholm office at Sveavägen 4. The legal entity, Advokatfirma DLA Piper Sweden KB, is a Swedish limited partnership (Kommanditbolag) founded in 2019 and led by Country Managing Partner Magnus Oskarsson, who specializes in cross-border M&A and fintech. The Stockholm office employs approximately 250 professionals, making it one of the largest law firms in Sweden by headcount.

The firm delivers legal advisory services across practice areas including Corporate, Employment, Construction, Dispute Resolution, ESG, Finance, Intellectual Property and Technology, Public Procurement, Real Estate, Regulatory and Government Affairs, Restructuring and Insolvency, and Tax. It serves enterprise clients across industries such as Automotive, Energy, Real Estate, Financial Services, Insurance, Consumer Goods and Retail, Life Sciences, Aerospace and Defense, Media/Sport/Entertainment, and Technology, and serves only corporate clients, not private individuals. Technology infrastructure is limited to standard law firm tooling — case management, document management, and cross-office communication systems — with no proprietary AI or productized platform disclosed.

Revenue is generated exclusively through legal advisory fees (hourly, fixed, or success-fee arrangements) negotiated per matter with corporate clients. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The firm's go-to-market relies on direct lawyer-to-client relationships, participation in legal industry events, law school career fairs and student recruitment, thought-leadership webinars and newsletters, and press coverage of major mandates. DLA Piper Sweden draws significant competitive leverage from the parent DLA Piper global network, which operates across more than 40 countries and works in close coordination with Nordic offices in Denmark, Norway, and Finland on cross-border mandates.
