Advokatfirman Steinmann

What Advokatfirman Steinmann does

Advokatfirman Steinmann is a Stockholm-based Swedish law firm founded in 1989 by Harry Steinmann, a former rental judge, and operates today as Advokatfirman Steinmann AB (Swedish private limited company), member of Sveriges Advokatsamfund. The firm is a single-practice specialist in real estate law, with a particularly deep concentration in tenancy/rental law (both commercial and residential), and has handled more than 13,000 property law cases over its 35+ year history. Service lines span rental law, housing cooperative law (bostadsrätt), lease law (arrenderätt), property transactions, hidden defects, property formation and planning law, easements, ground leases, land and environmental law, and consumer contracting. Its core technology stack is non-existent in the software sense — the firm delivers advisory and representation through licensed Swedish attorneys rather than through any proprietary platform.

The client base is B2B and spans property owners and investors, property management organizations, municipalities and public authorities, construction companies, and housing associations (BRF). Go-to-market is enterprise-field-sales in nature: direct client relationships, referrals, and partnerships with industry bodies such as FörvaltarForum. The firm extends its reach through a content-driven funnel — a knowledge bank of articles on its website, the Fastighetsrättspodden podcast, LinkedIn presence, and a structured education business comprising company-exclusive courses (up to 100,000 SEK per 2-day course, max 12 participants), public courses (11,800 SEK per attendee), and free topical seminars.

The revenue model is professional services: traditional legal fee billing for advisory and litigation work, supplemented by educational course and seminar fees. The firm is owner-operated, with multiple partners (delägare) including CEO Agneta Gothenby, and has no external investment, parent company, or M&A activity. Headcount is approximately 20 staff, drawn from a roster of partners, associates, paralegals, and administrative roles. The firm recently expanded geographically into Gothenburg (September 2024) and added a new partner (Elin Isakzon) effective July 1, 2025, alongside continued bench-building through recent bar admissions.
