Last Updated: Feb 23, 2026
I hired a lawyer in Sweden for an employment dispute and later my manager mentioned facts that only my lawyer knew. I never consented to any disclosure and I’m worried my position at work is now worse. How do I file a complaint and what proof is usually needed?

It’s concerning that confidential information shared with your lawyer was disclosed without your consent. If your manager mentioned facts that only your lawyer would have known, it could indicate a breach of confidentiality. To file a complaint, you can approach the Swedish Bar Association, which regulates lawyers’ conduct in Sweden. They handle complaints regarding breaches of legal ethics and confidentiality. As for proof, you would typically need to provide a detailed account of the information disclosed, how it was shared, and any communications or documentation that show a breach occurred. We can assist you in drafting your complaint and ensuring that all relevant details are included to support your case. If you'd like further guidance, feel free to reach out.
