Trine Osen Bergqvist has been appointed as Counsel as of 1 July 2023.

Jakob Jeanrond has been appointed Chief Economist with responsibility for Vinge’s market leading service offering within law and economics. Jakob will head Vinge’s growing team of soon to be five competition economists, working seamlessly with the lawyers in all EU and competition law matters, as well as providing economic analyses within dispute resolution, public procurement and other legal areas.
As an additional reinforcement, Per Hellström will join the firm in an active role as Senior Advisor on 1 June 2023. Per has most recently held the position of Senior Legal Director at Apple, responsible for general legal and regulatory matters, including competition law, in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India.

In these capacities, Per oversaw numerous high-profile cases, including the Commission’s landmark cases against Microsoft.
”It feels great to bolster Vinge’s competition law practice in this way. We have a new generation of leaders in Sebastian, Jakob and Trine, all of whom are already stars in the field of competition law. With Per’s extensive experience at the highest international level, we add a further dimension to our leading team and to our client services”, says Marcus Glader, head of Vinge’s EU, Competition & Regulatory practice.
