Since taking on his current role he has reorganised the legal department, restructured the group legal function, changed silo working methods within both the legal department and entities outside the holding company, and improved the availability of his lawyers. His achievements have not just been operational, he has also demonstrated excellent technical legal advice: ‘I have been involved in a lot of projects, but I think to win a big PPP (Public Private Partnership) contract with Aon and to be a part of the merger and restructuring of Aker Solutions are two good examples’.

Allan Christensen has successfully made a mark for himself in the in- house sector, with individuals praising him for ‘displaying a unique talent that is rare to come about. He possesses a high degree of business acumen while at the same time understanding the complex legal issues that need to be taken into account’.
His ability to balance the implementation of transactions while ensuring acceptable terms and his understanding of complex legal issues make him stand apart from other M& A counsels. He enjoys ‘the opportunity to work worldwide on a variety of existing transactions’.

Establishing the legal department at EQT, Almefelt also created a panel system with over 3.
Since Almefelt joined EQT, the private equity sector has seen a surge in regulation. She has been instrumental in obtaining licenses and ensuring the company adheres to compliance under the new regulations including three EU directives, in three different jurisdictions. Despite the regulations, Almefelt’s approach has ensured the legal department does not impinge on the entrepreneurial culture of the company. Niclas Almgren General counsel TDC Sverige AB At telecommunication provider, TDC Sverige AB, Niclas Almgren has ‘a special skill in applying legal matters into a business context and making legal issues more understandable for non- lawyers’. He has been instrumental in negotiating a new four year mobile virtual network operator (MVNO) agreement with the Swedish telecom incumbent, Telia. Sonera.

The team has influence over the processes of amending the terms and conditions in standard agreements for new technical services and innovations. Almgren also sits as a member of the executive management team of the company, where he is able to demonstrate his strategic and commercial thinking. Meena Ambardar General counsel (Investments) Första AP- fonden, First Swedish National Pension Fund (AP1) After a successful career as a corporate lawyer on Wall Street, at firms including Davis Polk and Goldman Sachs, Indian- American Meenakshi Ambardar (Meena) moved to Stockholm in 2.
Ambardar spent her first few years in Sweden at home with her young children acclimating to her third country. In 2. 00. 7, Ambardar demonstrated adaptability and ingenuity in creating an English- language job as the first in- house lawyer at EQT, a well- known European private equity fund based in Stockholm.
In 2. 01. 3, Ambardar joined Första AP- fonden (AP1), one of Sweden's national pension funds, by then having become business- fluent in Swedish. As general counsel (investments), Ambardar covers M& A transactions, alternative investments (hedge, real estate, PE funds) and managed accounts. One of the more important transactions she has worked on was the EUR 6. Fortum’s electricity distribution business in Sweden.
The transaction, in which AP1 was part of an investor consortium, is one of the Nordic region’s largest M& A transactions in terms of monetary value. In addition to Nordic transactions, Ambardar also advises on a wide range of global projects, working closely with management and the business professionals of AP1.
As part of the investment unit, Ambardar integrated legal review into the investment transaction process, procured an international legal panel and improved the standards and awareness of legal counsel work. The extra support that she provides gives additional comfort to AP1 in its investment opportunity review and decision process as well as execution capability on a first- class, international level.
To advise sovereign wealth fund investors like AP1 effectively, Ambardar believes that counsel need a deep knowledge of public sector investor sensitivities, for example, the importance of environmental, social and governance considerations. Ambardar is able to use her international background to provide this advice for AP1, and, where necessary, bring in outside counsel that she has educated on AP1’s particular needs. Ambardar believes that for outside counsel, putting legal issues in the appropriate context and in a language the client understands is critical. She says ‘similar to other large global investors, counsel should keep in mind that AP1 needs guidance to understand why a particular legal issue is important and why it matters’. Ambardar continues by saying that ‘taking the time to know, understand and meet your client on- site is essential to providing pragmatic, thoughtful advice’.

Advice to member organisations is provided through collaboration with external stakeholders, including the Danish Ministry of Education, increasing the complexity of navigating the legal domain of Danske Erhvervsskoler.
Ankersen recently assisted in the merger with another educational member organisation that resulted in establishing a legal counselling area in the new organisational structure, further evidencing the dynamic nature of Ankersen’s role as chief consultant. In 2. 01. 3 he headed a new agreement which instigated radical changes to benefit the working hours of the teachers involved in his member schools. His efforts have made a significant impact in education quality by improving the work environment for the teachers. In addition to pioneering agreements in the educational sector, Ankersen and his team successfully balance and bridge negotiations and demands from schools, law firms, ministries, private enterprises and varying other stakeholders. When you operate in this stakeholder environment, and when you understand that Danske Erhvervsskoler’s legal counselling must co- operate with the fields of politics, administration and economy, the obligations and importance of legal counselling become obvious’. Nominators pinpoint and credit, his dedication to the sector, specialised knowledge of education legislation and ‘flair for communication and cooperation with the various partners of the organisation’ as truly outstanding.
