What ranking organisations and clients say
Client feedback
During a period where we as a client were put in a stressful situation, Malin von Heideken, Sofia Falkner and their team were very dedicated to our case and were always within reach. They understood the importance of our situation. And even though I perfectly know they have other clients to take care of as well, we never felt this. It was 100% dedication.
Both Malin von Heideken and Sofia Falkner were always available, they very quickly understood our situation and what our needs were. The legal advice they gave us during the situation has been precise, and as an in-house attorney myself, they were good to spar with.
