Moll Wendén is joining the Global Legal Tech Alliance– an international alliance of business law firms driving the development of legal tech through collaboration and joint product development. The part-nership is a strategic step that strengthens the firm’s offering at the intersection of business law, innovation and international regulatory compliance.
Moll Wendén was established in 2003 through the acquisition of Linklaters’ operations in Malmö and has since built a clear position as a specialist business law firm with strong regional roots and an international perspective. The firm’s strength lies in the combination of highly specialised advice, accessibility and a deep understanding of the client’s business.
As clients’ needs become increasingly international and regulatorily complex, Moll Wendén has intensified its work in AI and legal tech. The firm uses AI and advanced legal tech tools on a daily ba-sis and participates in several collaborations where its lawyers contribute to the development of technology platforms. The Global Legal Tech Alliance partnership is a natural continuation of that trajectory.
At the same time, developments in AI are transforming the conditions for the entire business law market. A significant proportion of law firms’ traditional services are expected to be automated, streamlined or eliminated entirely over time. Technology development is no longer a complement – it is a necessity for firms to remain relevant.
– The Global Legal Tech Alliance partnership gives us the opportunity to take the next step in legal tech and digital legal services. Together with other leading firms, we can develop compliance ser-vices that span multiple jurisdictions – something that is critical for many of our clients. The collabo-ration also creates opportunities to build and license products that support our clients’ in-house legal departments in their day-to-day work, says Ebba Walberg Snygg, Managing Partner at Moll Wendén.
For many international companies, legal services today extend beyond individual advisory engagements. The legal function needs to be integrated into clients’ business systems, operate cohesively across multiple markets, manage growing regulatory requirements and provide faster support to the business. This places high demands on legal expertise, processes and tools – and creates a growing need for solutions that combine qualified advice with scalable working methods and technical pro-cess support.
– We want to be the obvious choice for companies seeking a business law partner with legal expertise, international understanding and genuine innovation capability. With the Global Legal Tech Alliance, we strengthen our ability to develop services that are closer to our clients’ everyday operations and business. This is the future of business law – more integrated, more forward-looking and even more relevant, says Ebba Walberg Snygg.
The Global Legal Tech Alliance brings together leading business law firms from around the world. The alliance was initiated by Hogan Lovells, one of the world’s largest law firms, and currently in-cludes firms such as Cadwalader (USA), Tilleke & Gibbins (Asia-Pacific), MLL Legal and Walder Wyss (Switzerland), Jiménez Peña (Dominican Republic), Gercke Wollschläger, AGS Legal and Winter Thürk (Germany), Havel & Partners (Czech Republic and Slovakia), and Levy & Salomão (Brazil). Additional firms are expected to join shortly.
