Vinge advises Norvestor in connection with investment in Sortera

May 25, 2012

Vinge has advised Norvestor, the Norwegian private equity capital investment company, in connection with its investment in Sortera. As a result of the investment, Norvestor has become the company’s new majority shareholder. Sortera focuses on waste disposal and management in the construction industry and specialises in the collection, sorting and processing of building waste. Sortera was founded in 2006 and has a current turnover of SEK 80 million. The investment will be used to support Sortera’s expansion in the Nordic region.

Vinge’s team consisted of responsible partner Michael Wigge together with associates Karl Svantemark and Louise Markgren as well as Johan Cederblad and Matilda Gustafsson (environmental), Robin Dangoor (banking and finance), Linnea Blommé (employment) and Evelina Tejle (IP).  

New statute prohibits unfair terms and conditions and practices in conjunction with the purchase of agricultural and food products

The so-called UTP Act prohibits buyers from using certain terms and conditions and practices against suppliers of agricultural and food products. The Swedish Competition Authority exercises supervision and can, among other things, carry out unannounced inspections and order individual to attend formal interviews. In conjunction with violations, sanctions such as injunctions subject to a default fine or a sanction fee of up to one per cent of the buyer’s annual turnover can be imposed. The UTP Act will enter into force on 1 November 2021 and will also be applicable to contracts which are entered into prior to this date.

European Commission provides sanctions compliance guidance

The European Commission has recently issued three opinions regarding the interpretation of asset freeze provisions in certain sanctions legislation pertaining to Central African Republic, Ukraine, Libya and Syria. The opinions are also of relevance for other sanctions regimes which provide for the same or similar restrictions. Therefore, their practical relevance goes far beyond the sanctions regimes in the context of which they were issued and they therefore provide for helpful guidance regarding the required thresholds for sanctions compliance generally.
