Description

In this episode, Mike Burke, AGG Corporate partner and chair of the international practice, is joined by Pär Remnelid and Olivia Sandin, attorneys at Azelius & Partners, a Swedish law firm. Together, they explore Sweden’s economic landscape and the implementation of its Foreign Direct Investment ("FDI") Act, which affects both domestic and foreign investors.

Mike, Pär, and Olivia discuss how the Swedish FDI regime compares to the U.S. Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States ("CFIUS") process, how it influences deal planning and timing, and what investors should know before entering the Swedish market. The conversation also highlights current M&A trends and the challenges of navigating Sweden’s developing FDI review system.
