November 25, 2021

Vinge has advised YA Holding AB (publ) ("YrkesAkademin") in connection with its acquisition of Arcus Utbildning & Jobbförmedling AB ("Arcus"). The acquisition is, inter alia, dependent upon securing the requisite financing.

As per 30 June 2021, Arcus’ turnover was SEK 282 million for the past 12 months (LTM). At present, Arcus employs approximately 300 people.  

Vinge’s team consisted of Jonas Johansson together with Elsie Nassar and Amanda Steen (M&A), Mia Falk and Per Kjellstrand (Compliance), Ebba Svenburg (Employment Law), Elisabet Hallberg (Contracts), Karl-Hugo Engdahl (IT & GDPR), Ulf Pyk (Real Estate Law), Kristoffer Sällfors (Public Procurement) and Ellinor Gyllenhammar (VDR assistant).

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.
