The firm was founded by three lawyers, each possessing decades of experience in providing legal advice in our respective fields at one of the largest law firms in Sweden. Without in any way jeopardizing quality, our aim is to provide expert legal advice at competitive rates within the framework of a smaller firm. We have extensive experience, focusing specifically on general commercial law, dispute resolution, banking and finance law, intellectual property, marketing law and maritime and aviation law. Through our network of contacts in Sweden and abroad, we also offer specialist expertise in other areas of practice.
Commercial law is a field which includes negotiations and a broad range of issues related to contracts, among other things. We work closely with our clients to provide advice and support in everything from the individual steps or parts of a business process to more overall responsibility for the entire process. We adapt to the needs of our client in each individual case which requires teamwork and sensitivity to ensure optimal flexibility and support for the individual business situation. It's important in some cases to have a clear plan with a checklist to be checked off. In other cases, the best approach is to form a comprehensive overview without losing focus on the details.
We have many years of experience from all aspects of aviation and shipping, from the actual business carried out to disputes and litigation related to aviation and shipping. By regularly representing various parties on the market (owners, operators, managers, lessees, charterers, insurance companies and banks), we have gained invaluable insight into the commercial and legal interests that are significant. We also possess many years of experience regarding the various corporate structures related to aviation and shipping and have broad experience in offshore projects.
As an example, we can mention various types of assets and share transfers in conjunction with ownership changes in the shipping industry and newbuilding projects in various parts of the world not the least in China and Turkey.
Over the years, we have also worked with banks and other financing institutions in conjunction with shipping structures abroad and maritime workouts.
With respect to aviation, we have primarily represented airlines in the financing of new aircraft but have also represented banks, leasing companies and other companies on the aviation market.
In business, it’s almost impossible to avoid, at some point, to end up in a conflict with business partners or perhaps another party on the market. Legal disputes can often be avoided through wise and balanced negotiation solutions, which is our goal when assisting our clients. Where this is not possible, it is important to plan and implement legal proceedings, whether in court or in arbitration proceedings. By doing so we have a close dialogue with our clients regarding resources to be used, all in accordance with an agreed plan. Unfortunately, it too often happens that arbitrations/litigations becomes a project of its own without real control and plan. As a few examples regarding our arbitration experience, we can mention shipbuilding disputes regarding 12 chemical tankers ordered in Russia, gas disputes related to pipelines and underground storage facilities in Ukraine. We have substantial experience with both institutional arbitrations (i.a. SCC) and ad hoc arbitrations.

Maria has a genuine passion for financing generally, and aviation financing in particular - an interest awakened early as in-house counsel at Scandinavian Airline System (SAS). Maria studied finance at Fordham University in New York. She also began her career as a lawyer at this time, working first at the New York office of Mannheimer Zetterlöf and subsequently at the same firm in Stockholm. After 5 years with the firm and after a merger (Mannheimer Swartling), Maria continued her carreer at Setterwalls law firm, which at that point in time had an active Aviation Group. Maria has represented clients in the leasing business as well as airlines, banks and lessors. Her legal services have involved leasing issues, general aviation matters, and regulatory issues.
"One of the world’s leading aviation lawyers"
In addition her work on aviation transactions, Maria has also been highly involved in legislative issues and had a major influence on the process surrounding Sweden's accession to the Cape Town Convention. Maria has assisted many clients in matters involving company law, particularly those relating to shareholders’ agreements and related issues. Her work at Chambers Almelöv & Hjelmqvist continues to involve work on aviation matters, including transactions as well as registration issues and other regulatory questions.
