WCN is happy to welcome its members to an inspiring evening at the Swedish Bar Association on 1 March, 2018.
During the evening, Lena Frånstedt Lofalk, co-founder of and partner at the law firm Kanter Advokatbyrå, will talk about her exciting career path. In 2016, Lena was honored for her outstanding advances in law when the Swedish Bar Association awarded her as “Årets Advokat”. She is one of the most experienced lawyers in Sweden in the area of intellectual property rights and has impressive experiences from working within the Swedish Bar Association. Lena was previously the vice chairman of the board of the Swedish Bar Association, chairman of the Disciplinary Board and she has held lectures on lawyer ethics. In addition, she is engaged in the Hilda-network, which supports women in their professional development within the legal industry.
Under Swedish law, only members of the Swedish Bar Association may use the professional title “advokat”. During the evening a presentation will be held about the requirements for membership in the Bar Association and how to become a qualified lawyer allowed to use the title ”advokat”.
The process of becoming a qualified lawyer is of big interest among law students, and therefore WCN is happy to give you the opportunity to get all your questions on the matter answered.
