Swedish law has provided a neutral, predictable and cost-effective foundation for international trade and commerce. In particular, the choice of Swedish law has been, and continues to be common in international contracts involving Russian parties. Over the years, large number of Russia-related contracts have been governed by Swedish law, including major and pioneering commercial transactions.
