Northern European law firm Roschier has appointed Håkan Sterner as IP and life sciences counsel in Stockholm, Sweden.
Joining from AstraZeneca, where he was in-house counsel, Sterner specialises in patent litigation, patent strategies, licensing, and compliance and regulatory work in the pharmaceutical industry.
“After many interesting years at AstraZeneca, I am very much looking forward to taking the leap into private practice. At AstraZeneca I have been handling patent disputes almost on a daily basis, and I have become familiar with how law firms and attorneys work in this field. Roschier has one of the strongest IP and life sciences practices in the Nordic region and I am excited to be joining the team and look forward to continue building on the firm’s strong tradition in this area,” Sterner said.
