Vinge’s property and environmental law group is considered one of the most prominent in Sweden. Our clients include Swedish and international property companies, traditional industrial companies, and authorities. We also represent many international investment funds as well as other parties, including financial institutions, rating institutes etc.
We act in connection with the purchase and sale both of individual properties and of portfolio companies. Naturally, we also advise on traditional property law, including planning and building legislation, easements, amalgamations and lease legislation.
Our environmental lawyers provide advice and assistance to companies in connection with consent applications, contacts with authorities, disputes etc. An increasingly important part of our environmental law practice is assisting in procuring a sound environmental basis and in preventing surprises in business and property transactions. This type of assistance includes co-operating with environmental consultants in surveying and assessing the compatibility of particular operations with applicable consents, identifying existing and potential loss and clean up liabilities, and allocating commercially the risks between buyers and sellers.
