About

LEISK was founded by Gustaf Leijonhufvud and Johan Skog, who have prior experience as lawyers at renowned law firms and who are also founders of Kapatens – an investment company focusing on legal finance and distressed situations. As a result, they have experienced the legal market from both the attorney’s, the client’s and the funder’s perspectives.

From these experiences emerged the idea of LEISK – an advisor with a holistic approach to law, risk and finance.
