Compliance & Risk

Internal fraud

In the event of internal fraud, companies face high demands from both legal frameworks and their surroundings. Taking early control of a situation can facilitate later stages and limit potential damage. With experience in handling major fraud cases and an understanding of a company's vulnerable position, Lindahl can assist with investigations and risk assessments.

Product safety

The regulations surrounding product safety are extensive both at the European and national levels. In addition to national legislation, companies must comply with EU and local authorities' regulations. Lindahl provides advice in all these areas, such as guidance on product recalls, product liability issues, and matters related to EU directives, such as the Machinery Directive.

Public procurement

Authorities, public entities, and state-owned companies must understand whether they are subject to procurement legislation and, if so, to what extent. It is of utmost importance that the governing regulations are applied correctly. Lindahl assists the public sector in ensuring that the correct regulations are followed appropriately. We also assist suppliers in selling to the public sector, a process that is often complex with multiple steps and specific requirements and policies that must be met and adhered to.

Environmental Law

We represent operators as counsel in permit applications, conduct environmental law reviews and risk assessments in commercial transactions, and handle various forms of disturbance, intrusion, and compensation issues both in and out of court. Energy law is another important part of our work, including energy trading and emissions trading, as well as regulatory issues in areas such as electricity, natural gas, and radiation safety.

Competition Law

Competition law is now a natural part of most business transactions (including mergers and acquisitions), and most types of commercial agreements require a competition law review. We provide, for example, Compliance Programs where clients' operations are reviewed to ensure compliance with applicable competition legislation. Read more about our work in competition law.

Privacy law

Lindahl has extensive and broad experience in advising on privacy law. We continuously assist companies with privacy-related issues, such as drafting information and contract texts in accordance with GDPR, policy documents, and legal opinions. We also act as representatives in contacts with the Swedish Data Protection Authority and in legal proceedings in court. On behalf of clients, we conduct specific reviews (due diligence) of companies' handling of personal data and other sensitive information and help ensure that the handling complies with applicable regulations.

Measures against money laundering and terrorist financing

Financial companies, as well as certain other types of businesses, are subject to what is commonly referred to as the anti-money laundering regulations. The regulations aim to raise awareness among covered entities about their risk exposure to money laundering and/or terrorist financing based on their operations. In accordance with the regulations, the entity must implement necessary measures, such as customer due diligence, and establish an internal control environment to ensure that the business cannot be used for illegal purposes. Lindahl has long and broad experience working with anti-money laundering regulations for various types of entities. The work encompasses everything from conducting risk assessments and drafting necessary governance documents with effective processes to ensure compliance, to providing second opinions on existing systems and processes.
