Malin Edmar
Attorney-at-law and founder
The founder and attorney-at-law Malin Edmar has been practicing contract law, IT law and intellectual property law since 1996. She often drives large and complex negotiations in various fields, as well as mediation negotiations.
Malin Edmar has worked at Microsoft's headquarters in Redmond for several years and has continued to support the company in commercial contracting, product development and product launches. She has also served as Senior Commercial Counsel at GitHub, drafting and negotiating commercially viable, easy‑to‑understand terms for PaaS solutions, cloud‑native services, and advanced developer tooling, and later as Senior Product Counsel, focusing on AI services and security features, PaaS, and joint development initiatives.
This experience has given her a strong passion for new technology and a deep understanding of the AI and IT sector, making it natural for her to quickly grasp her clients' products, terminology and development cycles.
Malin has written four books, i.a. the Swedish book Internet publishing and social media, which is now in its seventh edition (Norstedts Juridik, 2021), and has been part of the Swedish governmental ICT committee for several years, where she got the opportunity to influence the implementation of laws on privacy, electronic communication and e-commerce.
When Malin drafts agreements, negotiates or writes books, she always has the technology in focus, and makes sure that she understands the technology first, before applying the law to it. Malin is also passionate about making the law understandable. You shouldn’t need to hire lawyers to understand what you agreed on. That is probably one reason why her books are so popular and are used as course literature at several universities in Sweden.
