Job Description

Are you a commercially minded lawyer who enjoys working closely with the business in an international environment, with Sweden as an important part of your remit? We are looking for an experienced Senior Legal Counsel to join AFRY Group Legal.

In this role, you will support AFRY's global operations with a focus on AFRY’s Industry Division and Swedish operations. You will act as a trusted adviser to senior leaders and business teams, combining legal expertise with commercial understanding and a pragmatic approach.

You will work across jurisdictions, legal systems and industries, helping the business navigate complex legal and commercial matters.

The position is based at AFRY's offices in Solna, Sweden, with the possibility of hybrid working depending on business needs and agreement.

Key Responsibilities

Supporting AFRY’s Industry Division

  • Advise on client proposals and engagements, commercial contracts, partnerships and joint ventures.
  • Support consultants and management in identifying and managing legal and commercial risks.
  • Act as a senior, trusted legal partner in a dynamic business operating at the forefront of the energy transition and industrial transformation.

Commercial Contracts

  • Draft, review and negotiate a broad range of commercial agreements, with a primary focus on contracts for consultancy and engineering services.
  • Balance legal risk with commercial objectives in complex and high-value engagements.

Legal Advice & Dispute Management

  • Provide day-to-day legal support across AFRY's Industry Division’s operations.
  • Assist with commercial disputes and other complex legal matters when required.

AI & Legal Innovation

  • Contribute to the development and use of AI and legal technology tools to improve legal service delivery.

Training & Knowledge Management

  • Develop and maintain contract templates, playbooks and legal guidance materials.
  • Deliver training on commercial contracts, risk management and related legal topics.

Qualifications

We are looking for an experienced lawyer who combines strong legal expertise with sound commercial judgement and the confidence to operate independently in an international business environment, with a focus on Sweden. You are commercially minded, pragmatic and confident in handling complex legal matters. You enjoy working close to the business and understand how to balance legal considerations with commercial objectives. You communicate clearly, build strong relationships and thrive in an international environment where priorities and challenges vary from day to day.

You should have:

  • A Swedish law degree
  • At least seven years of relevant legal experience, ideally including experience in an international environment.
  • Extensive experience in drafting, reviewing and negotiating a broad range of commercial contracts, ideally including engineering, consultancy or professional services agreements based on standard terms such as ABK09, FIDIC, Orgalime and NLM19.
  • Experience of working across multiple jurisdictions, legal systems and contract types
  • Strong commercial understanding and an ability to assess legal issues in the context of wider business objectives
  • The ability to work independently and engage confidently and with integrity with senior decision-makers
  • Experience from commercial dispute management
  • A genuine interest in AI and legal technology, preferably combined with some practical experience of using such tools
  • Fluency in Swedish and English, both written and spoken.

Experience working for an international engineering services company similar to AFRY is an advantage, but not a requirement. Experience in and knowledge of construction law and/or the AB/ABK and ABT standard terms and conditions is also an advantage.
