The firm
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.
Areas of practice
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 the pharmaceuticals sector to IT, from telecoms operators to airlines, from retailers to private equity houses. Naturally, its lawyers are fluent in the international business languages – English, French, German, Italian and Spanish, as well as the Scandinavian languages.
The lawyers at Setterwalls try not to think in compartments. Each problem will have unique features; each client, individual goals. So the firm is committed to pulling together the best talent from across Setterwalls to form multi-disciplinary teams tailored to the task at hand. Much of this work is international in scope, and its lawyers are experienced at working with firms in a variety of jurisdictions.
Setterwalls offers all the expertise expected from a modern, full-service firm. If clients are looking for advice on corporate/M&A or financing, then its experts can help, co-ordinating advice and project managing deals. Many of the world’s leading companies and institutions, including international and Swedish private equity funds, have benefited from its results-focused advice, which seamlessly integrates expertise in areas like tax and competition law to ensure that pitfalls are foreseen and deals stand the best chance of happening. If clients are interested in any aspect of real estate and infrastructure law, from innovative project financing to straightforward portfolio management, the firm has the resources to help there, too. From the most sensitive litigation and arbitration to cutting-edge technology, IP, media, sports and telecoms work; from employment to transport law, Setterwalls has someone who knows the industry and appreciates clients’ concerns. Recent years have seen the firm recruit leading specialists in a variety of areas, building strong reserves of experience for its clients.
