Employment lawyer for employers and companies
För dig som driver verksamhet är arbetsrätten en del av vardagen. Anställningsavtal ska upprättas, omorganisationer ska genomföras, fackliga förhandlingar ska föras och då och då uppstår tvister. Som arbetsrättsjurist i Stockholm arbetar vi med hela arbetsrätten, för både arbetsgivare och arbetstagare. Arbetsjuristen fungerar som ditt juridiska bollplank inom arbetsrätten och täcker hela spannet från löpande rådgivning till tvister i Arbetsdomstolen.
Our employment lawyer works equally well with small companies as with larger organizations and has clients all over the country, with an emphasis on employment law in Stockholm and southern Sweden. Many agencies focus on either the employee or employer perspective, but we represent both. This means that we know how the other party reasons and which arguments actually bite when the situation becomes critical, which for you as an employer means more effective negotiations and a more realistic assessment of the risks you actually bear in a case.

Services for employers - agreements, clauses and MBL
As employment law lawyers for employers, we work within the full scope of employment law. We help you with the preparation and review of employment contracts, confidentiality, competition and bonus clauses, negotiations according to the Swedish Employment Act with trade unions, advice on reorganization and redundancy, termination for personal reasons and dismissal, disputes in the district court and the Labour Court, as well as tailored training in employment law for managers and HR.
A good employment contract solves many future problems before they arise. We draw up and review contracts with special attention to the parts that often become points of dispute later, such as salary, bonus, confidentiality, competition and termination conditions. The text is adapted to your specific business and type of employment so that the contract holds even when the role changes over time. Negotiations under the Swedish Co-Determination Act require both legal precision and a strategic perspective, and we represent companies in negotiations with trade unions, in preparation for reorganizations, in salary movements and in other situations where the MBL is relevant. Our goal is to ensure that the process is carried out correctly, while safeguarding the interests of the business.
Termination, dismissal, disputes and tailored training
When an employment is to be terminated, formalities are crucial, mistakes in the process can lead to large damages. We guide you through the steps required for termination for personal reasons, termination due to lack of work and dismissal, and should a dispute arise, we represent you throughout the entire process, from the first hearing to any main hearing in the Labour Court. Many conflicts can also be avoided if managers and HR have basic knowledge of labour law, and that is why we develop tailor-made training courses for your company that cover the issues that are most relevant to your business. This can include how to handle conflict in the workplace, how a termination should be carried out or how confidentiality and non-competition clauses should be used in practice.
Frequently asked questions in Employment Law for employers
What is an MBL negotiation and when do I as an employer have to negotiate?
MBL negotiation is based on the Codetermination Act and means that you as an employer must negotiate with the union before important changes, such as reorganizations, layoffs due to labor shortages or major operational decisions. The negotiation must take place before the decision is made. If you miss the negotiation obligation, you risk damages, so get legal help early in the process.
How do I terminate staff due to a lack of work?
Termination due to lack of work requires that you follow several steps, including MBL negotiations with the union, a proper relocation investigation, and that the order of precedence rules are applied correctly. Deficiencies in the process can make the termination invalid and lead to damages. We will help you set up the order so that the decision is legally valid.
When can I fire an employee?
Dismissal is the most drastic measure and may only be used in cases of gross misconduct, such as theft, violence or serious breaches of the duty of loyalty. The employment then ends immediately without notice. Since the requirements are high and wrongful dismissal is expensive, you should always discuss the grounds with a lawyer before taking action.
What should an employment contract contain?
An employment contract should clearly regulate the form of employment, salary, duties, working hours and notice period. Often, writings about confidentiality, bonuses and competition are also needed. Since 2022, LAS also requires that you provide certain written information to the employee. We draw up and review contracts so that they are valid and adapted to your specific business.
How do the priority rules work when terminating employment?
The LAS priority rules are based on the principle of last in, first out, where the length of employment determines who must leave in the event of a shortage of work. Since the LAS reform in 2022, all employers are allowed to exempt up to three key employees, and the rules can be adjusted through collective agreements. Since incorrect priority can be costly, we help you calculate correctly and document the selection.
