Lawyer Friends of the SCCL was formed as an informal society in 2002 to organize economic support to SCCL. This cooperation among commercial lawyers in Stockholm was replaced in 2020 by a chartered foundation for the support of SCCL. It is financed by commercial lawyers who wishes to benefit from the activities at the SCCL and to support it.
A law firm can become a member of Lawyer Friends of the SCCL by contributing a yearly fee to the foundation and by 2022 most of the Stockholm area commercial law firms have become members. The yearly fee is based on the number of lawyers working at the firm and is established by the board of the SCCL.
Contacts at Lawyer Friends receive invitations to the activities organized by the SCCL. These consist annually of about fifty short seminars arranged by the various research departments, as well as a number of larger seminars and conferences.
The contributions from Lawyer Friends make it possible for SCCL to maintain a high level of seminar activities and also carry out various research projects. The Oxford collaboration is one of the many projects that would not have been possible without this support.
Those who want to know more about membership in Lawyer Friends can contact SCCL’s chairman, André Andersson at andre.andersson@msa.se
