Following her time as a thesis intern, Sandra Englund has chosen to continue her career at Born. During her internship, she gained early insight into the work of a business law firm—an experience that sparked her interest in staying on. “The most valuable part of my time as a thesis intern at Born was getting a first glimpse of how a business law firm operates. I really enjoyed both the work itself and my colleagues, which made it feel like a natural decision to continue here,” says Sandra. According to Sandra, the transition from thesis intern to associate lawyer has felt both smooth and reassuring. She describes a work environment where she has gradually taken on more responsibility, while always having support close at hand. “I feel confident in my role and know that I can always get help and support when needed.” When asked to describe the culture and collaboration at Born, Sandra sums it up in three words: open, engaged, and non-hierarchical—qualities she says made her feel like part of the team early on. “Early on during my internship, I felt that ‘this is where I want to work.’ The assignments were interesting, and my colleagues made me feel welcome from day one.” For students considering applying for a thesis internship at Born, her advice is clear: “Take the chance and apply. Being able to discuss your thesis with such knowledgeable colleagues is invaluable—and it’s also a lot of fun to be a thesis intern here.” We are delighted to have Sandra with us and look forward to continuing the journey together.

Born joins AGRD Partners - creating a next-generation legal platform - and leaving the Swedish Bar Association to enable future growth Born has joined AGRD Partners, an innovative alliance of six leading business law firms in Sweden. Together, we are building a next-generation legal services platform powered by innovation, technology, and smart collaboration – all designed to deliver greater value and impact for our clients. AGRD Partners combines specialist expertise in corporate and commercial law, public and private M&A, banking and finance, technology, real estate, and employment law. With around 250 professionals across eight offices nationwide, the group enters the market as one of Sweden’s ten largest business law firms by revenue from day one. While forming a united platform through AGRD Partners, Born and the other member firms will continue to operate as independent firms - maintaining their unique brands, client relationships, and areas of expertise, while benefiting from the shared strength, resources, and innovation of the AGRD network. With ambitious plans for growth in Sweden and internationally, AGRD Partners is establishing a modern, forward-looking platform for business law – designed for long-term investment, innovation, and sustainable development. The platform is specifically tailored to meet the needs of business clients operating in a fast-changing, innovation-driven environment, where new ways of working and delivering legal services are essential to stay ahead. Membership in the Swedish Bar Association restricts law firms from taking in external ownership capital under the Association’s own rules. To enable future investment and continued growth, Born – together with the other member firms of AGRD Partners – has therefore chosen to leave the Bar Association. The AGRD Partners Code of Conduct now replaces the Bar Association’s framework for Born. Based on ethical principles, it provides client protection and professional integrity, while being better aligned with the needs of modern business law – focused on corporate and commercial clients rather than individual or criminal practice. “This marks the beginning of a new era for business law in Sweden. We are building a structure that unites top-tier legal expertise with technology, business insight, and true innovation. For our clients, this means faster processes, smarter delivery, and advice that’s one step ahead of the market and more tailored for their needs” says Erik Borgblad, Founding Partner at Born
