Setterwalls remains on top in Chambers Fintech ranking
For a second consecutive year, Setterwalls Advokatbyrå tops Chambers’ annual list of the most prominent Fintech law firms in Sweden. In addition to the top ranking as a firm, Setterwalls also receives three individual awards.
Every year, the independent ranking institute Chambers and Partners ranks the world’s leading law firms and lawyers in several areas, including Fintech. Setterwalls has distinguished itself among the top firms since Chambers began evaluating the Fintech area of the Swedish legal market and is, once again, ranked as top tier together with only one other firm in the country. In the nomination, Chambers particularly highlighted Setterwalls’ strong and broad offering across the various specialist areas within Fintech. Setterwalls were also awarded three individual mentions to Joacim Johannesson, Niklas Follin and Andreas Löfholm.
– Chambers is one of the top-ranking institutes, and we are very proud to maintain our high ranking from last year. We have been focusing on Fintech for a long time and working on these issues at an advanced level; these awards are a testament to how strong we are both individually and as a team, says Joacim Johannesson, head of Setterwalls’ Fintech group.
Continued strong development
For the upcoming year, Setterwalls has strengthened the Fintech team further with the recruitment of Tobias Björklund, who joins from a management role at the Swedish Financial Supervisory Authority. With his long experience in financial regulatory issues, he will help Setterwalls elevate its position in the area.
– We foresee a continued strong development of the Swedish Fintech market in 2022 and are pleased that Tobias will become part of Setterwalls. With Tobias, we can offer our clients even sharper advice on financial regulatory matters. He will be a great asset to an already strong team, Joacim Johannesson concludes.
