Meet Camilla
Camilla started her career at LES as a student assistant in the Real Estate team. But as she approached the end of her law degree, she was unsure which legal field to pursue.
"I really wanted to stay at LES because I enjoyed being here," Camilla explains. So when the opportunity arose to join the M&A team as a junior associate, she took a chance. Luckily, it turned out to be a great fit: "Right now, I couldn’t imagine doing anything else."
One of the most important aspects of Camilla’s workday is the close connection she has with her colleagues.
"I have a close relationship with the partners I work with. For example, we celebrate anniversaries together and occasionally go out for lunch – that means a lot to me," she shares.

"Most of my work revolves around transactions, where we conduct due diligence for clients who are buying or selling a company," she explains. "A due diligence process involves almost the entire firm, and it is my job to ensure that everyone meets their deadlines."
Camilla describes her role in M&A as a form of project management, ensuring that everyone involved is aligned and moving forward.
"M&A is not hardcore legal work where your nose is buried in legal commentaries. It is more about project coordination – keeping track of all the moving parts in the process. That includes staying in touch with clients, coordinating with opposing counsel, and managing internal colleagues – and I find that really exciting."
The role as a “project lead” is a natural fit for Camilla.
"I enjoy being the one who ties everything together and keeps the overview," she says. She also notes that while the work can be intense during peak periods, there are quieter stretches too: "You learn to navigate the changing pace of different projects."
Over time, Camilla’s client contact has grown – something she sees as a valuable part of her role.
"I have always had quite a lot of client interaction, and that is only increased since I joined LES. It means a lot to know the clients and understand their preferences," she says, highlighting how strong client relationships improve collaboration and efficiency.
