The firm was originally founded in 1918, and was part of another Swedish law firm between 1990 and 2018. Cirio adopted its name in 2019, marking the beginning of a new era of business law practice.
Our high quality of service and our determination to deliver outstanding results ensure we build long-term relationships with our clients, aiming to be not just an exceptional legal adviser, but also your trusted business partner.
Today, human development sees a new chapter through The Fourth Industrial Revolution – one that will bring change at a speed, scale and magnitude unlike any before.
Fuelled by a convergence of technologies across digital, biological and physical systems, the previously unthinkable will become an everyday reality. In turn, society and the economy as we know it will be fundamentally reshaped, disrupting business models and requiring new approaches in each and every sector, including legal services. Complex challenges will be faced and the game will require new rules to play by.
Against this backdrop, we believe that a new approach to business law is required – an approach we call the fourth way.
Our business is law and our focus is always our clients’ business. Through strong and broad expertise across legal disciplines and industries covering four service areas, we create and navigate legal infrastructures for business and society of the future.
We combine solid and broad expertise across legal disciplines, covering Transactional Services, Business Strategy and Operations Services, Special Situations Services and Collaborative Innovation.
With a passion for progressive business and transactions has enabled us to evolve specialised competence within progressive areas like digitalization, renewable energy, life science and real estate.
We take a ‘human first’ attitude towards the way we run our business. The ambition is simple. Create a sustainable working environment where each of us feels valued, inspired and challenged to keep growing. And by understanding our clients as people we aim to build lasting and rewarding business relationships.
Through expertise, passion and empathy in everything we do, our ambition is to make a change by shaping and helping others to navigate complex legal infrastructures to improving the way both business and society work.
Cirio is a law firm with a mission to shape the rules of the market and society of the future. We want to play an active role in shaping the future of the ongoing Fourth Industrial Revolution, for our clients, our talents, for the market and for the community as a whole.
Giving back to the community is important for Cirio and a key part of the firm’s mission to strive for what is best for the business community and society at large. This is why Cirio has begun a partnership with Fryshuset intended to strengthen local youth engagement. Through the partnership Cirio’s lawyers will support and guide young people with legal advice, expertise, education and site visits. Cirio’s employees will also work on Fryshuset’s projects Selfmade, where young people in underprivileged areas receive assistance in entering the job market, and Powerhouse, which functions as an incubator where young people can develop and lead their own projects.
We are an active player in the Swedish Data Protection Forum; our colleague Caroline Olstedt Carlström is one of its founders. Our long-standing collaboration with the University of Tennessee enables us to play a part in establishing new models for innovation and value generation in commercial partnerships in the network economy, based on relational contracts and the Vested® sourcing business model.
In these and other ways, our aim is to contribute our wide-ranging expertise and experience for a better tomorrow.
