Our story

We created AGRD Partners because we all know that we are stronger together. By sharing knowledge, complementing each other's range of services, and achieving economies of scale, we can create even greater value for our clients. At the same time, each member firm remains independent, maintaining the closeness, flexibility and local presence that this brings. Through our collaboration, we simply get the very best of both worlds.

Clients often want to grow and cross borders – and so do we. Like every positive development in the legal sector, our growth story is a direct response to what our clients are doing and what they need from us. Our model enables firms to collaborate more effectively across jurisdictions and practice areas, while maintaining the trusted relationships that sit at the heart of legal services.

Technology is core to our strategy. As the legal market evolves, AGRD Partners enables coordinated investment in AI, legal technology and operational infrastructure across the group. By deploying leading-edge tools in a consistent way, we help our firms improve efficiency and enhance service delivery. Investing in innovation and technology together means that we can move faster, share expertise, and help our member firms remain at the forefront of developments in the sector.

Our enlarged model also gives us the ability to attract the best legal talent and offer enhanced professional development and career opportunities. The great thing about each firm maintaining its brand and culture is that it also retains the nimbleness needed to maintain the partner-led service of an independent firm.

Our group is actively seeking to grow in key jurisdictions beyond the Nordic region, which is our heartland. We are excited about our journey and we hope you agree!

We believe
in technology

We are convinced that technology will be central to our industry in the future. That’s why we have agreed to make long-term investments together, so we can become even more efficient, allow our experts to focus on the most complex tasks, and develop new services and business areas. All of this ensures we can support our clients with precisely what they need. 

Our team

Our team and Board of Directors at AGRD Partners bring together decades of international experience across business law, professional services, private equity, and investments. This gives us a unique and deep understanding of how business law firms operate—and, most importantly, of what their clients need.
