Our firm

In SANDS, we emphasise building teams. Teams that consist of individuals who complement each other, both professionally and socially. Every person is important, and the pieces must fit together. We want a company with employees who are passionate about the legal profession, about working together and about working with clients. This is not only because we, in that way, create a good working environment, but also because we are convinced that our clients appreciate it. We are proud that we succeed in attracting experienced lawyers from other leading firms and corporations, as well as sharp minds from the law faculties.

“

Our success is not measured in numbers, but in whether we succeed in living up to our values, ambitions and that we are able to deliver our best to our clients.
