Vinge advises Industrifonden in coNnection with investment in FishBrain

November 21, 2013

Industrifonden has invested MSEK 5 in FishBrain, a company which has developed a mobile solution and a social network for sport fishermen. Sport fishing is the world’s most popular leisure time activity with 100 million sport fishermen worldwide. The capital will be used to implement the business model and to finance the company’s international expansion.

FishBrain’s mobile solution and social network connects sport fishermen, distributors, manufacturers of sport fishing equipment and arrangers of sport fishing trips. It makes it possible for fishing enthusiasts worldwide to share information, tips and compare fish caught and locations.
The company’s vision is to be the leading global social network for sport fishermen and to continue its expansion in the Nordic region, the UK, Russia, China, the US and Japan.

Vinge’s team consisted of responsible partner Johan Larsson, together with partner Jonas Bergström and associate Karl Hahtovirta.

Renewable energy – The Council agrees on a temporary emergency regulation

In the beginning of November, the European Commission put forward a proposal regarding a framework to accelerate the deployment of renewable energy, with the ambition to speed up the transition to green energy and reduce the EU’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels. In line with the conclusions of the European Council at the end of October, the European Commission considers that the ongoing energy crisis requires immediate action to transpose parts of the REPowerEU plan, and therefore proposes to adopt a Council Regulation using Article 122(1) of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) as legal basis.

REPowerEU – The European Parliament and the Council have assumed their standpoints

In May 2022, the Commission presented its proposal regarding REPowerEU. The purpose of the plan, which is based on the "Fit for 55" parcel , is to change Europe’s energy system by eliminating the EU’s dependency on Russian fossil fuels as well as to tackle the climate crisis. The European Parliament and the Council have now adopted their positions in order to incorporate the plan into the national recovery and resilience plans.

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.
