Elvira has extensive experience advising on business model optimisation, effective documentation strategies, policy implementation, and controversy management. More recently, Elvira has been advising many of the largest Swedish multinationals on how to align their transfer pricing models with BEPS requirements both from a substance, policy and compliance perspective.

Over the years, Elvira has advised many of the largest Swedish multinational companies, as well as other global players, in a broad range of industries. Given Elvira's multicultural background, her advisory services may be provided in English, Swedish, German, Spanish and French, as requested by clients.
