We employ specialists in everything from employer law, purchasing and contract law, to market law and rent law, in order to assist companies with imports, incorporation, security issues, training, and more.
We bring our knowledge and experience to bear in order to provide large and small companies alike with tangible help and advice for day to day issues as well as for complicated legal affairs. Svensk Handel’s network and good offices provide members with access to politicians, civil servants, business offices and other decision-makers that affect the conditions in which our member companies do business.
Our training programs, conferences and seminars increase awareness and augment the efficacy and profitability of our member companies, and also give companies the chance to keep abreast of new regulations and trends in commerce.
With offices throughout the country, we are in close proximity to our member companies; our entrenchment at the local level is our special strength.
Other examples of the services we provide include:
- Constant information about laws and agreements that affect employer rights and responsibilities by means of a newsletter and a telephone hotline.

- Agreements that effectively halve the cost of bank card redemption
- Courses and training for member companies
