Ia Modin

Ia Modin is a trusted advisor in strategic and commercial matters related to innovation. She combines cutting-edge legal  expertise and business understanding, with an exceptional pedagogical and intuitive ability.

Ia Modin’s practice is focused on the development, management, strategy and commercialization of intellectual assets and innovations, including work in the creative sectors. Along her in-depth understanding of the nature of knowledge asstets and information, she brings a unique understanding of corporate challenges, internal dynamics and competing priorities, which by necessity will form and shape the infrastructure of value creation. Her work is always grounded in operational realities, while seeking the most optimal outcome.

Even though she is an avid commercial mediator, she does not litigate, because she is convinced that her collaborative mindset and focus on building creative, future-oriented solutions are better suited to collaborations and partnerships than to disputes.

Ia Modin's work spans a wide range of assignments – from the drafting and negotiation of complex agreements and commercialization strategies to strategy development, collaborations, commercialisation structures, and business development. Ia Modin also serves as a professional board member.

Ia Modin represents both large established companies and growth-oriented enterprises across a variety of industries where intellectual assets form a central part of operations, including life sciences and health, metals and mining, pulp and paper, deep-tech, the energy sector, and the creative industries. She is particularly appreciated for her ability to design and negotiate industry partnerships and vested agreements that generate lasting value and benefits for all parties involved.

Beyond her legal practice, Ia Modin is an active public figure both nationally and internationally, with strong engagement in issues concerning European competitiveness, innovation policy, and the strategic importance of intellectual assets and their operational challenges. Ia Modin currently serves as President of LES Scandinavia, the Nordic chapter of the Licensing Executives Society (LESI), and is the Co-Chair of its CEEM Committee (Chemicals Energy Environment Materials).
