Foyen recruits another specialist in public procurement

Johanna comes most recently from Alingsås Municipality where she worked as a procurement manager for two and a half years in charge of the municipality’s procurement activities and with personnel responsibility for five employees. As procurement manager, Johanna has had a role as a coordinator and strategist that involved decision support for the municipal leadership with respect to various legal issues and responsibility for training in procurement, both internally within the municipality and externally directed towards the business community.

– I sought employment with Foyen because the law firm specialises, among other things, in public procurement and has a very credible position on the market, with some of Sweden’s leading construction lawyers. I am looking forward to a rich exchange of experiences and to jointly developing the law firm, says Johanna Hellström. Johanna’s legal background also includes several years of work at the Glimstedt Law Firm, where she focused on public procurement, insolvency and dispute resolution. Prior to her work at Glimstedt, she worked with procurement for the City of Borås. Johanna started her position at Foyen on August 14th.

– Johanna has a solid background in public procurement. Her experience and skills further strengthen our commitment to becoming Sweden’s largest business law firm in project and technology-related law, says Foyen CEO Linnéa Djursén. Foyen has also recently recruited associates Erik Jagbrant and Esmeralda Eberhardson to the Public and Construction business sectors, associate Cecilia Carlson to the Commercial and Construction business sectors, associate Rebecka Flick to the Real Estate and Environmental Law business sectors, and paralegal Marianne Riquelme.

Dissatisfied with an inspection report?

The system of inspections according to AB 04 and ABT 06 plays a central role in construction. The main purpose of all inspections is to determine whether the total works or part of it has been completed in accordance with the contract. An inspection report is of great importance as evidence of the condition of the total works and is often the basis for negotiations between the parties on the existence of defects. It is therefore important that a party who is not satisfied with an inspection report has the opportunity to have it reconsidered.

How are public procurement contracts affected by the EU’s decision on sanctions against Russia?

During the spring of 2022, the EU decided on a series of sanctions against Russia in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. On 8th of April 2022, the EU decided on a fifth package of sanctions which includes, among other things, further restrictions on trade with Russia. One element of this is the extension of the list of controlled items which might contribute to Russia’s military and technological enhancements or the development of its defence and security sector, and restrictions have been imposed regarding goods for import and export, transactions, and financing and financial assistance, among others. In the context of these sanctions, the Regulation also introduces a new article that addresses public procurement contracts.
