THE SWEDISH BAR ASSOCIATION

Only a member of the Swedish Bar Association can call him/herself a lawyer and this title is also protected by law. The Swedish Bar Association exists to exercise supervision over Sweden’s lawyers.

As a lawyer and a member of the Swedish Bar Association, I am obliged to follow a number of lawyer-ethical rules e.g. relating to professional conduct – as well as rules on discretion and confidentiality. I am also required to hold and maintain indemnity insurance. You can read more on this subject at www.advokatsamfundet.se.

THE CONSUMER DISPUTES BOARD


On January 11, 2016, the Swedish Bar Association established a consumer disputes board. Here, consumers (clients) can lodge a complaint if they are dissatisfied with a lawyer or a service provided by a lawyer. In the first place, the client should contact the lawyer to try and reach a solution in agreement with the lawyer. However, if no such agreement can be met, the client may then turn to the Consumer Disputes Board.
