”It feels fantastic to be part of one of Sweden’s top firms in IT and intellectual property. I am looking forward to joining this very competent team and to continue to move Delphi forward within my areas of expertise”, says Agnes Andersson Hammarstrand.
Strengthening the practice with a new partner is one step in Delphi’s strategy to enhance its IT and intellectual property team. In addition to Agnes, Anna Ribenfors will be joining the Stockholm office in September 2015. Anna joins us from Accenture where she has worked with complex IT agreements. Anna has a very long and broad experience of Swedish and international work in IT and intellectual property from both a world-leading supplier and from law firms. Delphi’s IT and intellectual property team is also strengthened by Erika Strandén as an associate. Erika has a background, amongst other things, from the firm IPQ, which works with intellectual property and innovation law. Another associate is employed to the office in Göteborg starting within the next few days and at least one additional recruitment will take place to the team during the autumn. Delphi is seen as one of the strongest firms in IT and intellectual property law in Sweden and both the firm and the team members have been awarded over the years a series of prestigious assignments and prizes and clients include some of the world’s largest companies. Delphi is top ranked within IT and telecoms/TMT in both Legal 500 and Chambers. Delphi is incredibly proud of having recruited these highly competent people to the firm and they will further strengthen the TMT/IP group.
In addition to these recruitments, Delphi has secured its leading edge in IT and intellectual property law by the development of new products to make its advisory services even sharper and more effective. Delphi previously launched a data protection due diligence tool and a CLOUD compliance check and during the autumn Delphi’s sourcing group will launch a sourcing process to make sourcing agreements secure and effective.
Agne Lindberg, partner for almost 25 years and one of the founders of Delphi’s IT and intellectual property practice and the only Swede that Chambers has awarded ”Star Individual” in the field says, ”It is fun and exciting to follow and to be part of the development in IT and intellectual property law. It is an area that is more active than ever in respect of both legal developments and assignments.”
”These new recruitments will give Delphi further cutting edge competence and advisory capacity. In total, Delphi’s IT and intellectual property group now consists of 24 lawyers,” says Peter Nordbeck, head of Delphi’s TMT/IP practice group in Stockholm.
