At Setterwalls, the shipping team handles complex work, both contentious and non-contentious, for its clients. The team is co-led by Åke J. Fors in Gothenburg and by Andréa Jällbrink in Stockholm, each bringing vast experience in the sector. Fors focuses on P&I issues and ship financing, and as a former head of the insurance practice, additionally brings strong skills in this area. Jällbrink, promoted to partner in January 2o25, advises domestic and international clients on disputes and contractual negotiations.
