How We Work
Law Academy
Forsety Legal operates according to a modern and cost-efficient model where law students gain practical experience under the supervision of a qualified legal professional with extensive experience and overall responsibility for quality and attention to detail.
Through this structure, we can offer high-quality legal services at significantly lower costs than many traditional law firms, while also giving future lawyers the opportunity to combine studies with practical work.
The Swedish Bar Association
We are not a member of the Swedish Bar Association, but operate according to the fundamental principles of good legal practice in Sweden. In some assignments, alternative compensation models may be applied, such as equity participation or performance based compensation, which is not permitted by the Bar.
