Roschier has elected a new chairman with Stockholm managing partner Axel Calissendorff to step into the role later this year (30 November), replacing Tomas Lindholm.

Earlier this year Calissendorff was named as co-senior partner alongside Lindholm as the first step in a succession plan for the firm’s management, with Ulf-Henrik Kull replacing Lennart Simonsen as managing partner.
