Joint transaction group for complex corporate transfers and investments

Advokatbyrån Gulliksson and Ström & Gulliksson have an established joint transaction group that meets the high demands associated with corporate acquisitions and investments in knowledge‑intensive companies. In businesses where value is largely based on patents and other intellectual property, a combination of top‑tier commercial legal expertise and deep technical understanding is required.

The collaboration integrates Gulliksson’s experience in transactional law and intellectual property with Ström & Gulliksson’s deep expertise in patents and technical law. This enables a comprehensive service where legal, commercial, and technical perspectives work together throughout the entire process – from strategic advice to execution.

The joint transaction group manages the full lifecycle of a deal, both on the buyer and investor side and on the seller and founder side. The group works, among other things, with preparing companies for investment or exit, as well as analyzing and valuing intellectual property assets. The group leads negotiations, structures transactions, and drives deals all the way through to completion. They identify strengths and weaknesses in patent portfolios and ensure that intellectual property rights help maximize value in a transaction.

A well‑developed IP strategy, combined with structured corporate governance and clear, risk‑mitigating agreements, creates the conditions needed to attract investors and carry out successful transactions. Through proactive work, the group strengthens clients’ positions in negotiations and contributes to more profitable deals.

Advokatbyrån Gulliksson brings extensive experience in due diligence processes, contract negotiations, financing matters, and project management in complex transactions. Ström & Gulliksson contributes deep technical analysis, patent strategy, and the ability to assess the level of innovation and commercial potential of intellectual property – regardless of the technical field.

The working method is cross‑functional and tailored to each individual transaction. The group assembles the right team based on the needs of the deal and ensures high quality at every stage – from the initial analysis to the completed transaction.

Together, Advokatbyrån Gulliksson and Ström & Gulliksson offer strong and integrated advisory services for both corporate acquisitions and VC investments in start‑ups.
