Livingstone Partners Stockholm: Knowledge Lunch with Wistrand Law Firm

An ongoing topic such as Sweden’s implementation of the FDI law (Foreign Direct Investment Act), which came into effect on December 1, 2023, provided Livingstone Stockholm with another opportunity to gather for a Knowledge Lunch. We had the pleasure of welcoming guest speakers Sascha Schaeferdiek, Ólafur Steindórsson, and Lovisa Attesjö from Wistrand Law Firm, renowned for their expertise in the field. Their presentation offered a comprehensive and informative analysis of the legislation, making the Knowledge Lunch highly enlightening.

Wistrand Law Firm shared extensive insights into various aspects of the FDI law, including the activities and investments covered, as well as the procedure for scrutiny and potential sanctions. The discussion also focused on how the FDI law affects domestic transactions and emphasized the importance of compliance.

It also addressed the practical consequences of the FDI law on the schedules of business transactions and provided valuable advice on navigating any delays that may arise due to the legislation. The lunch also included discussions of the challenges and uncertainties that the FDI law may entail, providing participants with a clear understanding of the obstacles they may encounter.

”As the FDI law is still in its early stages, and thus lacks extensive practice, it was very enlightening to hear Wistrand’s insights on how to navigate the new legislation. The Knowledge Lunch provided both a deeper understanding of how the law is applied and which types of transactions are affected, as well as how we as advisors can guide entrepreneurs during the FDI review,”  says William Johansson, Analyst at Livingstone Stockholm.

At Livingstone, we value these moments of industry camaraderie and knowledge sharing. We remain dedicated to providing professionals with opportunities to learn from experts like Wistrand Law Firm and stay updated on the latest developments in the business world.
