Board training for board secretaries – Swedish Company Lawyers’ Association

Develop your role as a corporate lawyer and make yourself more attractive for future board recruitments.

Styrelsemöte

This course is specially designed for members of the Swedish Association of Corporate Lawyers, Sveriges Bolagsjurister. The position of board secretary is something that should be part of your job description as a corporate lawyer, and it often is. That’s why having up-to-date, enhanced skills in this area is crucial for you to succedd in your role. It also makes you a more attractive candidate in future board recruitments. 

Other board members can also find our training highly rewarding, since they can gain a better insight into how the board’s work should be managed. You will thus benefit from the course regardless of whether you are already working as a board secretary or whether you want to take on the role some time in the future.

We run this course in collaboration with the Swedish Company Lawyers’ Association. To participate, you need to be a member of the association. Please register at sverigesbolagsjurister.se.

Who will teach the course?

The course is led by Carl Svernlöv, lawyer at Baker & McKenzie, and Nina Axelsson, program director at Michaël Berglund Board & Leadership Services.

Course content

  • What should board minutes contain?

Food and venue

Diploma
