Setterwalls Achieves Top Rankings in Legal 500 with record number of Individual Awards
The results for Legal 500 EMEA 2025 have been announced, and Setterwalls has once again secured its position as one of Sweden’s leading law firms. Nearly all of the firm’s areas of expertise have been top-ranked. Additionally, Setterwalls has secured 34 individual awards – more than ever before.
For nearly three decades, the ranking institute Legal 500 has reviewed and assessed law firms worldwide. Each year, the rankings highlight the ability of firms and individual lawyers to act as skilled advisors to their clients across more than 100 jurisdictions, based on extensive research and feedback from approximately 300,000 clients.
The results for 2025 have now been presented, and Setterwalls has further advanced its positions. Nearly all of the firm’s areas of expertise are top-ranked, including Banking and Finance, Capital Markets, M&A, Environment, and EU and Competition.
Setterwalls has also received several individual awards. As many as 34 awards have been given to distinguished lawyers for their significant contributions in their respective fields – eleven more than last year.
“This year’s ranking in Legal 500 confirms our position as one of Sweden’s leading business law firms. The record number of individual awards this year is particularly gratifying and a clear testament to the fact that we have some of the sharpest experts in the industry with us. Congratulations and thank you to all our teams for your hard work, drive, and dedication – you make it happen! We also want to extend a big thank you to our clients who have provided valuable feedback during the ranking process.
