MAQS Advokatbyrå

MAQS experts have broad competence and extensive experience in the field of labor law. Our customers are active in a number of different industries and consist of everything from multinational groups to smaller Swedish companies. You are welcome to come to us regardless of the industry you are in.

Employment law matters often have short deadlines. That's why we like to work proactively with our customers in, for example, reorganizations, staff cuts, acquisitions or sales of companies - all to avoid future conflicts and costly processes. If your company is at risk of ending up in a process, we have many years of experience running these; both in court and through arbitration.

The group also has solid experience in collective agreement matters such as negotiation of suspension agreements and enterprise agreements. The areas of labor law also include questions about the work environment, personal data, company secrets, loyalty issues and financial conditions such as incentive and bonus programs. MAQS also regularly holds training courses on labor law issues.

Corporate law matters are crucial for all companies' operations and form a large part of our customers' daily work. Our specialists assist both large and small companies in various industries and development phases, from company establishment and drawing up shareholder agreements or joint venture agreements to liquidation of operations.

Digitization and service creation create increased opportunities for collaboration. The collaborations often require complex considerations about what should apply to the information and the intellectual property rights that the parties bring into the collaboration and that are created during the collaboration.

MAQS's intellectual property group works continuously within the entire area of ​​intellectual property law and consists of experts in patents, trademarks, designs, copyright and market law. The group constantly follows the rapid developments that take place in various areas and works closely with MAQS's customers so that the advice is adapted to the companies, their operations and the strategy that suits the company and its intellectual property rights.

A potential dispute should be treated as a business event, where stakes are weighed against risks and likely outcomes. At MAQS, we prioritize business benefit, and a consensual solution is often preferable for all parties involved. Such solutions are most effectively achieved through early and clear legal analysis and guidance. Mediation procedures can often offer a cost-effective and relationship-preserving way of handling disputes that have arisen. However, some disputes require resolution in court or through arbitration.

MAQS's dispute resolution team works in tailor-made teams with in-house specialists and, where necessary, external consultants to always offer expertise that is specifically tailored to your case. We handle disputes relating to all types of commercial agreements in most industries and legal areas, including contracting, real estate, renewable energy, business transfers, intellectual property, automotive, insurance, IT, digitalisation, employment law, regulatory compliance and transport. Our specialists are also regularly engaged as arbitrators and mediators.

The specialist group is one of Sweden's largest in the field and consists of lawyers, bankruptcy trustees, liquidators, economists and administrators. Collaboration takes place, depending on the respective assignment, to a large extent with the agency's other specialist groups.

Financial problems, sometimes caused by extraordinary situations, arise at some point in most businesses. We help when our customers – or their customers and suppliers – experience payment problems, reconstruct or liquidate operations and analyze and improve business models based on regulatory compliance, profitability, credit and property law aspects. With solid experience in the areas of company restructuring and bankruptcy, we provide concrete advice on what measures should be taken.

We regularly undertake assignments as company reconstructors and act as bankruptcy trustees and liquidators where we collaborate with complementary industry expertise at the agency.

MAQS property group works continuously with, among other things, medium-sized and large property transactions around Sweden, property development projects and detailed planning processes. We also draw up and negotiate lease agreements for property owners or tenants and assist with environmental legal issues. All the legal help you need in the property industry is under one roof with us at MAQS.

The group continuously assists private and listed property companies, property developers and property funds, to institutional investors, the state and municipalities. As each deal is unique, we always make sure to put together a team that is best suited to the conditions and situation of the assignment at hand. For example, we often collaborate closely with our colleagues in the contracting and infrastructure specialist group .
