Job Description Roschier is a leading law firm in the Nordic region with offices in Helsinki and Stockholm. We specialize in business law and cover a broad range of practice areas. The firm is well known for its excellent track record of advising on demanding international business law assignments and large-scale transactions. In total, Roschier currently employs some 500 staff members. Are you a law student close to graduation and eager to start your career within competition law? Or have you recently graduated with a law degree, gained some experience within competition law and are curious to learn more and develop within the field? Our competition practice is growing and looking to strengthen the team with an Associate Lawyer. At Roschier, we offer the best foundation for your future and challenging work in a collaborative and fun environment. Join us as and take part in challenging assignments that will help you grow. Working as an Associate Lawyer within the competition team at Roschier At Roschier, we work with leading Nordic and international companies on complex matters that impact international business and market development. Our competition practice advises on a broad range of EU and competition law matters, including merger control and other M&A-related matters, cartel and abuse of dominance investigations, private enforcement, state aid and public procurement. The team also advises clients on proceedings before national competition authorities, the European Commission and the EU courts. The practice is closely integrated with Roschier’s M&A practice, giving our competition lawyers the opportunity to work on competition law aspects of large and complex public and private transactions in the Nordic region. An important and rapidly developing part of the practice is Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and protective security. Regulatory reviews of investments and assets critical to society are increasing in scope, complexity and importance. Our lawyers guide clients through the Swedish FDI regime and the Swedish Protective Security Act, including EU screening processes, and work with multi-jurisdictional FDI assessments and regulatory strategies in cross-border transactions. The work draws on expertise across areas including transactions, merger control, regulatory policy, real estate, defense and trade law. As part of the team, you will therefore have the opportunity to develop within areas that combine law, business and regulation, working with competition and FDI questions in both transactional and contentious contexts. For someone who is curious about how markets work and how regulation affects major business decisions, the practice offers a broad and dynamic platform on which to build your expertise.
