Mariann Norrbom 

Partner 

I see the challenge in setting the strategy and watching it work – whether in the context of litigation, negotiations or in drawing up pay and incentive programmes, staff policies or similar schemes. For me, the strategy has worked if I have a happy client and if the strategy was successful without jeopardising relations with employees, organisations or others.

I advise on all aspects of labour and employment law, but my areas of special interest are:

  • Financial institutions, including pay and collective agreement issues particular to financial sector employees as well as the special financial sector regulation
  • International and multinational organisations and their legal issues – including advising foreign-based management and HR functions
  • Legal inquiries for public authorities, private sector companies and organisations
  • Acting as an arbitrator or umpire in labour and employment law disputes
  • Advising on industrial relations
  • Management and development of law firm
