About Linnea Ljung

Linnea Ljung has been working as an environmental law advisor to Swedish and international companies, Swedish authorities and municipalities since 2008. She has a background from two of Sweden's largest business law firms, most recently as a partner. Through many years of experience from large and complex projects, permit processes and transactions for both listed and unlisted industrial, real estate, energy and waste companies, she has a deep understanding of the importance of environmental law in the specific business - not just in the legal landscape.

Linnea has a genuine scientific/technical interest, which facilitates the understanding of factual issues that include, for example, nature conservation, species protection issues, receiving waters, groundwater, chemical properties and technical systems. Understanding these issues can be crucial for good environmental legal advice in the individual case.

Linnea is highly ranked by the independent ranking institutes Chambers, Lexology (formerly Who's Who Legal) and Legal 500.
