Vinge advises Procuritas on its acquisition of We Select

June 09, 2022

Vinge advises Procuritas Capital Investors in connection with its acquisition of a majority stake in The We Select Company AB (“We Select”), a fast-growing digital talent acquisition platform. Key management will retain significant ownership of the company after the transaction.

We Select helps companies to attract and hire top talent easily by combining strategic employer branding, data-driven job advertising and automatic candidate management in one smart platform.

Vinge’s team mainly consisted of Jonas Johansson, Carl Sander, Linus Adolfsson (M&A), Seyran Sahin, Karl-Gustaw Tobola (Banking and Finance), Elin Broman (Employment), Arvid Axelryd, Anna Högsten (IP), Lisa Hörnqvist (IT & GDPR), Kristoffer Sällfors (Public Procurement) and Anna Ekdahl Roos (Project Assistant).

In such event, disputes can arise with the relevant tax authorities.

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.
