Firm Description

Setterwalls is one of the largest independent, full-service law firms in Sweden. It offers clients a complete range of services, working hard to put together cross-departmental teams carefully tailored to achieve their business goals. With substantial offices in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmoe, and strong relations across the globe, it can offer a high level of support whenever and wherever its clients do business.

The firm’s commitment to its clients has been widely recognised. This reflects the emphasis it puts on offering clients joined-up, responsive advice, as well as the strong growth of its full-service offering.

Setterwalls has always been a truly international law firm. That is especially true today, with around half of its work coming from overseas clients. The firm knows from experience what multinational companies expect from their advisers. For example, Setterwalls has traditionally represented many of the world’s largest financial institutions: currently eight of the world’s ten largest banks are clients of the firm. In recent decades it has become even more involved in cross-border transactions spanning all areas of business. Along the way it has served well-known multinationals in every field, from shipowners, P&I Clubs, managers and insurance companies to the pharmaceuticals sector, from IT to telecoms operators, from airlines to retailers and private equity houses. Naturally, Setterwalls’ lawyers are fluent in the international business languages – English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, as well as the Scandinavian languages.
