Vinge is one of the two premier Swedish independent firms in the competition field. "A very strong Swedish firm, extremely good in competition," says a peer. The firm has three offices in Sweden and one in Brussels led by Carl Wetter.
Johan Karlsson heads the Stockholm team, which, says a client, was "innovative: we worked very closely on the project and they provided independent thought that was hugely rewarding for success". Another says: "We have a huge amount of understanding from the top guys we engaged with and adequate understanding from the associates as well".
Stockholm-based Marcus Glader "got on with the job and learning quite fast ...Very clear and speaks well, has good English [and] he is very hands on," says a client.
On the merger control side, the firm recently provided competition advice for the Göteborgs Hamn (the port of Gothenburg) on the on-going privatisation of the container terminal, assisted private investment fund EQT on the merger notification for its acquisition of Dometic, and DSB and First Group on the expansion of its joint-venture business.
In other competition cases the firm advised clients including Tele2, AstraZeneca, Fortum Värme and Gävle Hamn. The Astrazeneca case was in reaction to the ECC and Swedish Authority's investigations into alleged competition violations.
