December 20, 2010

Vinge is advising Akzo Nobel Sweden Finance AB (publ) in connection with the divestment of the business in the wholly-owned subsidiary Carbide Sweden AB to the German specialist chemicals company SKW Stahl-Metallurgie Holding AG. Carbide Sweden produces and markets calcium carbide, a raw material used in the production of acetylene gas, which is used for welding and other applications. Carbide is also used in steel production.

The Vinge team includes partner Daniel Rosvall and associate Peter Sundgren (M&A), partner Thomas Sjöberg, counsel Johan Cederblad and associate Daniel Unger (Real Estate & Environmental), associates Jenny Dangré, Christian Hybbinette and My Muratori (General Corporate), associate Per Westman (Employment) and counsel Per Karlsson (EU & Antitrust).

Vinge authors the Swedish contribution regarding tax disputes for The Legal 500

 International companies run the risk of the erroneous management of tax issues when conducting operations in several jurisdictions. In such event, disputes can arise with the relevant tax authorities. The Legal 500 has now introduced a dedicated chapter on tax disputes in its comparative guide for the first time and Ulrika Bengtsson, advokat and counsel, has been selected to provide a clear picture of the Swedish tax litigation system.

The wide reach of the prohibition against circumventing EU sanctions

Against the background of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the EU has imposed a number of sanctions, which include a prohibition for companies within the EU to take certain measures in relation to Russia, as well as designated Russian people and entities on the sanction lists. Furthermore, a prohibition to circumvent the sanctions has been introduced in order to ensure that the sanctions are effective also in practice. When it comes to this circumvention prohibition, it is important to be aware of its wide interpretation, as established by the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Commission.
