In agreement for progress – introducing AGRD Partners A new force in business law launches today as AGRD Partners – an alliance of six leading business law firms in Sweden. AGRD Partners has been formed to lead the way in innovation, technology and smart collaboration, with the ambition to deliver exceptional value to clients and drive progress in a traditionally conservative sector. “By bringing together several of Sweden’s top business law firms and enabling substantial structural investments, we’re creating a powerful partnership with the potential to transform the business law landscape in Sweden and beyond," says Björn Larsson, Partner at Axcel and lead on the investment. Maria-Pia Hope, former Managing Partner at Vinge, has been lead industrial advisor to Axcel and now takes on the role of Chair of the Board. She adds: “Business law remains a highly relationship-driven profession, and innovation has often been slow to take hold. AGRD Partners unites leading firms with a shared commitment to innovation, enabling us to meet and exceed the evolving expectations of our clients.” The transaction is Axcel VII’s eighth investment and is expected to complete in the second half of 2025.

Earlier this week we had the pleasure of hosting a seminar on AI and copyright law at our office in Stockholm where Partner Jennifer Maisel and Associate Davide Federico Schiavetti of the US law firm Rothwell Figg shared their insights and experience on litigation with regard to alleged unauthorized use of copyrighted content to train large language models that power generative AI tools, as well as AI risk mitigation strategies.   Jen and Davide, part of the team at Rothwell Figg who are representing copyright owners in some of the pivotal cases regarding copyright infringement by AI systems, first provided an overview of how the AI systems work and the landscape of pending AI disputes in the US, and then walked us through the claims in the dispute between The New York Times v. OpenAI, in which Rothwell Figg represents The New York Times. Since many of the major AI systems are being developed in the US, the US case law on AI, that is developing this very moment, will likely have a major effect on AI and IP law worldwide.   Thank you Jen and Davide for sharing your insights. It was truly interesting for us.   At Zacco, we are closely monitoring the legal landscape regarding AI in the EU, both in terms of the intersection of AI and IP law, and also in terms of the tools to use and integrate in our workflows. Since our clients are innovative and creative companies, it is crucial for us to be on top of the latest developments in this regard. Get in touch with Annalena Nordin or Kristian Elftorp for more information on this highly topical matter.
