One of Sweden’s leading criminal law firms is looking for an Associate Lawyer

Stahre Persson Advokatbyrå specialises in criminal law and is one of Sweden’s most trusted firms in the field. We need to strengthen our team by recruiting another associate lawyer.
We are looking for a skilled lawyer with a strong interest in criminal law and human rights law. You should aspire to become a successful defence lawyer.
We will teach you the trade, and you will receive ongoing supervision and guidance on your way towards that goal. In the meantime, you will assist the firm’s lawyers and represent your own clients, including as counsel for injured parties and as a legal representative.
We offer a down-to-earth workplace with a very good atmosphere, where we support each other through setbacks and celebrate each other’s successes.
The office, which has been recently renovated to a high standard, is centrally located on Kungsholmen, close to public transport.
We have high standards when it comes to attention to detail. Being curious and outgoing, and having an interest in engaging with other people’s life stories, is an advantage. You should have strong analytical and critical thinking skills and not be afraid to question authority. We view experience at another criminal law firm or having completed a court clerkship positively, but it is not a requirement.
Are you the person we are looking for? Send a personal letter explaining, above all, why you want to work specifically with us and what makes you suitable for the job (it does not need to be long), along with your CV, grades and any employment references, to our administrator Sofia Dai (dai@stahrepersson.se) as soon as possible(!), and absolutely no later than 1 December 2026. The position will be filled at some point in 2026 or 2027. We are somewhat flexible, as the most important thing to us is finding the right candidate. Interviews may be held on an ongoing basis. The position may be filled before the application period has ended.
