Meet the team: The board

Many of you know of Tommy, Lawyer.se’s founder, and Annette Stavenow, the firm’s president. Now, it’s time to get acquainted with our final two board members — Birgitta Hellsing and Stefan Sjöö. We sat down with them for a quick Q&A. 

Birgitta, what do you do for the board? 

My area of expertise is human resources, but I, of course, also contribute to the growing the company more broadly. 

Stefan, what do you find most fun about serving on the board of Lawyer.se?

It’s fantastic to sit on the board of a company with such a strong brand. Beyond the capabilities we have at Lawyer.se, we also communicate with and are available whenever our clients need us. Those things make me really happy. 

What’s your best Lawyer.se memory, Birgitta?

Two years ago, the entire company went to Belgium, and it turned out to be quite a culinary trip (I love good food). I have a lot of strong memories from that trip, and it really strengthened the bonds between everyone on the team. 

Let’s stick with you, Birgitta. Why do you believe Lawyer.se’s work is important? 

We help our clients avoid bad deals. By using our legal knowledge and experience to protect our clients’ interests, our work creates a safer business environment.

How about you, Stefan? 

The most important thing is that we can help small studios navigate the jungle that is videogame law. We’re flexible to work with and adapt easily, no matter the client’s size or needs. 

Now, Stefan, could you tell us about your best videogame-related memory? 

I think Tetris in the early 90s — it was something completely new back then!

Do you have any fond videogame memories, Birgitta? 

I’ve played my fair share of PacMan. I also have many nice memories from this year’s Nordic Game Conference.

What have you learned from serving on the board of a company that works with videogame law?

It’s always about the people, and Tommy and Annette are both charting their own courses. Just by being themselves, they open new doors every day. I like that. 

What have you learned, Birgitta? 

That this industry is full of wonderful, warm and inclusive people. It has been a joy to discover the positive and engaging sense of community in the videogame industry. 

What are you looking forward to, personally or with Lawyer.se, Birgitta? 

I look forward to growing this company further and being a part of its continued success. 

Stefan, what are you looking forward to the most in the coming months? 

I try to live in the moment, so I must say the Swedish summer. Rain or shine, it’s something everyone should get to experience.
