After working two years with the global IT company’s different sales team, I was told that I ”finally understood the company’s business model”. It takes time for a lawyer to find the balance between being both the management’s gatekeeper and a support function to the sellers. Over time, I became a pragmatic and effective business attorney with the goal of promoting my clients’ business. The same applies to dispute management. Since it is only the lawyer who benefits from a dispute in court or arbitration, I have to work for a commercially viable solution. This also provides a long-term client relationship. Until today I have negotiated and designed many hundreds of contracts for more than 22 years, especially in the IT sector. During the same period I have solved many hundreds of disputes, mostly outside the courts. My main focus is always to solve and settle disputes. Many times I have also managed the parties to continue doing business with each other instead of fighting in court. In cases where a court procedure has been inevitable, I have usually won the more than 100 cases in public courts as well as the 20 arbitration proceedings, in which I have been the attorney. Like the old athlete I am, when in court only one thing applies; to win the case. This regardless if the case concerns the damages in the listed investment company Trustor, damages in connection with one of Sweden’s largest real estate companies´ bankruptcy, a global IT company or a Swedish industrial group.
In 2004, besides my law firm activities, I founded the company Avtal24 / Agreement24 with a subsidiary in Berlin. The company developed a contract automation tool for individuals. The goal was to offer banks a cheap and simple tool for managing bank customers’ private agreements.
My experience from being a lawyer for large global companies for many years and, in particular, a support function for sellers, was that these sellers should be able to handle contractual drafting and negotiation on their own to a much greater extent. With this knowledge and background, I founded the company Pactumize in 2017, a contract automation platform for large and medium-sized companies.
