Leading global law firm Baker & McKenzie today announced the hire of highly regarded M&A partner Mats Sacklén to further enhance the firm’s corporate offering in Europe. Mats, who is qualified in both Swedish and US law, has a diverse international practice, focusing on cross-border M&A, divestures, joint ventures, privatisations, and debt and equity investments.
He has acted on the sell-side as well as on the buy-side in a large number of deals, often in the context of a controlled auction involving private equity funds and has extensive experience from acting on matters touching emerging or other growth markets around the world. Sten Bauer, managing partner of Baker & McKenzie in Stockholm, commented: ‘We’re extremely happy to be adding someone with Mats’ profile and experience to our team. He is very well-known in the market, both in London and Stockholm, and has worked on some of Europe’s largest deals over the past decade. His vast international experience will add a unique flavour to our Stockholm offering.’
Tim Gee, global head of M&A and London head of corporate, added: ‘We are very pleased to hire someone of Mats’ calibre. His arrival will not only strengthen our pan-European M&A practice, but his background and experience from the Nordic region will further bolster the services we are able to provide to clients looking at inbound or outbound opportunities involving that region.’
