These general terms and conditions apply to all advice and other services rendered by Agnes advokater AB (“the Firm” or “we”), along with any individually agreed amendments. Unless modified in writing by mutual agreement, these terms will be an integral part of any agreement we may have with you.
The Firm is subject to the Code of Conduct of the Swedish Bar Association (see ). Among other things, this means that we may be forced to reassign from an assignment, should a conflict of interest arise.
The Firm renders advice only in respect of and based on the laws of Sweden.
Our work results and advice are tailored to the circumstances of the specific engagement, to the facts presented to us as well as the instructions given to us. Accordingly, our advice and the documentation provided as a result of a specific engagement cannot be used or relied upon in any other matter or for any other purpose than for which they were rendered.
Unless otherwise agreed, all information provided by us in draft versions of our documents is provisional and subject to the wording of our final versions of such documents.
In certain engagements, we are under a legal obligation to check, i.a., the identity and ownership structure of the client and certain entities and individuals affiliated to the client as well as the nature and purpose of the matter, and to retain satisfactory evidence of such controls. By entering into an agreement with the Firm, you are deemed to have consented to such information being handed over to the relevant Swedish authority, should the Firm be required by law to do so.
The Firm is required by law to disclose suspicions of money laundering or terrorism financing to the Swedish police authorities. We are prevented by law to inform you of having such suspicions or having made or contemplating making such disclosure.
The Firm cannot be held liable for loss or damage caused to you directly or indirectly as a consequence of our compliance with legal obligations.
The Firm processes personal data for administration and performance of matters (including actions taken before matters are accepted) as well as for the fulfilment of legal obligations imposed on the firm.
By engaging the Firm, you are considered to have accepted that we will collect, store, process and use your personal data as well as personal data on your representatives and beneficial owners. You are responsible for ensuring that such representatives and beneficial owners consent to such processing.
Any non-public information, received in the course of our work for you, from or about you, your business or other affairs, will be treated as confidential. Nor will we disclose it, except in accordance with your instructions or as we may be required to do so by law, applicable Code of Conduct of the Swedish Bar Association or by order of applicable court of competent jurisdiction.
If we, in the course of the engagement, engage or liaise with other advisors or professionals, we may communicate to them any information which we believe may be relevant to assist them in advising or carrying out other work for you.
Unless otherwise instructed by you, we may communicate with you by e-mail and through the Internet even though such communication involves security and confidentiality risks. We do not accept any liability for damages incurred due to such risks.
Our spam and virus filters and other security arrangements may sometimes reject or filter out legitimate e-mails. Accordingly, you should follow up important e-mails to us by telephone or by any other appropriate means.
The copyright and other intellectual property rights in our work products and advice shall vest in us, although you have the right to use them for the purpose for which they were rendered to you. Unless we have agreed otherwise, no documents or other work products generated by us may be generally circulated or used for marketing purposes.
Once an engagement has become publicly known, we may briefly disclose our involvement in the engagement and other publicly known information in our marketing, e.g., by referring to the engagement in our proposals, on our website or in qualification statements. If we have any reason to believe that you may be concerned about such disclosure, we will seek your permission prior to any disclosure.
Unless otherwise agreed, our fees are determined based on an hourly rate for each lawyer. In addition to our fees, disbursements for travel and other expenses may be charged.
Unless otherwise agreed, we will invoice you on a monthly basis. Payment of an invoice is due within 30 days. In the event of non-payment, interest on arrears may be charged from the due date until payment has been received in accordance with the provisions of the Swedish Interest Act [Sw. Räntelagen (1975:635)].
The Firm maintains professional indemnity insurance appropriate for our business in addition to the Swedish Bar Association’s compulsory professional indemnity insurance.
Unless otherwise agreed, our liability to you shall always be limited to the amount covered by the Firm’s current indemnity insurance.
Our liability to you will be reduced by any amount which may be obtained under any insurance maintained by or for you or under any agreement or indemnity to which you are a party or a beneficiary.
Our engagement for you does not create any liability to any third party, unless so has been agreed between us in writing.
These general terms and conditions and all issues in connection with them, the engagement, our work products and advice, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Sweden.
Clients that are consumers may under certain circumstance turn to the Swedish Bar Association Consumer Disputes Committee to have fee disputes and other financial claims against us tried. For further information, visit
