Ascente is Sweden’s next generation legal adviser to corporates, entrepreneurs, organisations and investors.

We advise companies across the life science sector; from early-stage research companies to major pharmaceutical and medtech companies, as well as companies operating in healthcare, food and cosmetics. Our assignments span the entire breadth of the sector; research and development, regulatory challenges, a wide range of commercial agreements, as well as intellectual property matters and transactions. We understand your challenges and provide advice that makes a real difference.
From October 2026, Ascente and the VILDA network are partnering to strengthen female leadership, ownership and innovation within the life sciences sector. By combining strategic networking with commercial legal expertise, we are creating the conditions for sustainable growth, sound corporate governance and better opportunities for funding.
