Setterwalls secures top-tier recognition once more in Chambers Fintech 2026

Chambers and Partners has released its 2026 Fintech Legal rankings, and for the eighth consecutive year Setterwalls Advokatbyrå has been ranked in the top tier. This continued success reinforces the firm’s standing as a premier Swedish adviser in fintech. Alongside the firm’s top-tier placement, three practitioners at Setterwalls received notable individual honours.

Fintech continues to drive innovation and growth across Sweden’s economy. The rapid development is not only reshaping financial services through new business models and value chains but is also redefining the conditions for companies across multiple industries.

Sweden’s fintech landscape encompasses established banks and financial institutions, major technology companies, and start-ups. As digital transformation accelerates, fintech has emerged as a central legal focus in recent years.

In today’s publication of the Fintech Legal 2026 rankings, Chambers and Partners once again ranks Setterwalls at the highest level. The assessment highlights the firm’s combination of rigorous legal capability and strong commercial insight, as well as the firms effectiveness in navigating multifaceted matters ranging from regulatory change to technical complexity and commercial considerations.

“Being ranked highly once again by Chambers in Fintech is a strong approval of our clients’ trust and our team’s hard work. I am incredibly proud of our team and grateful for the long‑term partnerships we have with our clients,” says Henrik Kjellander, Managing Partner.

Beyond the firm-level recognition, three Setterwalls lawyers were individually honoured in the 2026 rankings, and all three retain their individual rankings: Joacim Johannesson remains in Band 1; Tobias Björklund remains in Band 1; and Niklas Follin remains in Band 2.

These recognitions further underscore the team’s market-leading position.
