Member Profile

I have, in my capacity as General Counsel, In-house Counsel and independent Senior legal counsel, acted as an independent arbitrator and mediator, been responsible for handling, managing and defending my employers’ position as plaintiffs or defendants in various disputes as well as supervising and appointing external counsels both in domestic and international arbitrations and alternative dispute resolutions. My industry knowhow includes, amongst others, the handling of legal and contractual disputes within the international manufacturing, infrastructure, energy, construction, Life Science and Med Tech industry, hence my belief that I would be suitable as an Industrial specialist.

Served as one of three arbitrators in an ad hoc proceeding in 2005 (regarding a Joint Venture related dispute), which was handled in accordance with the Swedish Arbitration Act and institutional proceedings under the rules of the Gothenburg Rules. The case was settled.

Apart from that I was suggested as the chairman of an ICC arbitration in 2011 (regarding a construction contract issue) by White & Case in London (Philip Capper) but was not elected.

Acted, in co-partnership with United States Magistrate Judge James E. Gates, in the US as a Special Master under the authorisation of the US Federal Court in a mediation between a US and English company in April 2019. Inquiries regarding Mr. Wahlgren may be directed to Judge Gates at (919) 645-1790.

I have extensive experience of acting as the supervising General and In-house counsel in several major commercial and corporate arbitrations. I have thorough experience and knowledge in arbitration, includes ad-hoc proceedings and institutional proceedings under the rules of ASA, LCIA, ICC, SCC and UNCITRAL as well as of handling arbitration under the FIDIC conditions.

25 years extensive experience and knowledge of, amongst others, managing arbitrations, disputes and acting as an arbitrator, mediator and adjudicator, as General Counsel for the Alfa Laval Group, in-house counsel, supporting a number of multinational Swedish and foreign listed companies (i.e. Skanska, ABB, Rolls-Royce and NCC) and in my current role as independent legal counsel, I consider myself to be suitable as an industrial specialist arbitrator mediator and adjudicator.
