Wistrand Advokatbyrå has formally become CMS Wistrand

The decision to become a part of CMS, one of the world’s largest law firms, was made to future-proof our position as one of Sweden’s leading law firms and to expand internationally. CMS’s unique structure ensures that CMS Wistrand can continue to be an independent, locally rooted firm for Swedish clients while benefiting from CMS’s global expertise and network.

‘’Effective and well-structured teams across borders are crucial in today’s legal landscape. It creates value for clients by reducing friction in deliveries and expediting the processes of acquiring legal services’’, says Maria Kosteska Fägerquist.

‘’Significant time and cost savings are achieved for our clients by leveraging unique legal expertise across borders, sectors and practice areas, working in structured teams with common values and focus’’.

We now have the opportunity to further drive the innovation necessary to shape the legal services of the future.

‘’Being future-facing means proactively anticipating challenges and driving innovation. Now, we position ourselves to deliver solutions that shape the industry and help our clients confidently navigate the changing landscape’’, says Fredrik Råsberg, Chairman of the Board in Stockholm.

‘’But our commitment doesn’t end with innovation. Successfully steering the ESG agenda with a focus on climate change and social responsibility is of great importance for companies now and in the future, and as a law firm, we have a responsibility to help our clients navigate in the right direction.’’

It was announced back in November 2023 that Wistrand would become a part of CMS. For CMS, entering the Swedish market was crucial.

“Developing a strong Nordic platform is important as our clients expect us to support them in major business hubs around the world,” says Pierre-Sébastien Thill, CMS Chairman. “We already have CMS Kluge offices in Bergen, Oslo and Stavanger. Now with CMS Wistrand, we can offer clients deep local expertise in Sweden, combined with our global reach.”
