WELCOME TO J. SÖDERGREN LAW FIRM
The law firm is primarily specialized in European law, i.e. the laws and regulations flowing from the European union and the European Court of Human Rights common to most European countries. By European specialist is thus not meant a specialist on the various national legal orders.
