Being a lawyer requires an eye for detail. But it also requires an ability to see the conflict in its context. In my job, I couple the technically complex with common sense, working towards the goal of having everyone understand the logic behind my reasoning. That is how I make a difference as a lawyer at Norrbom Vinding.

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

  • Discrimination – including advising on how to avoid discrimation claims, implement policies and handle any claims 
  • All types of incentives
  • Industrial relations – including collective bargaining and dispute resolution
  • Health and safety at work

  • advised a variety of corporate clients on how to handle the rules governing age and disability discrimination
  • conducted several cases, including collective bargaining agreements and discrimination
