Setterwalls is one of Sweden’s leading law firms and an important part of our full-service approach is the provision of advice on acquisitions and financing. The recruitment of Jörgen S. Axelsson positions us even more clearly as an advisor of the highest calibre in these areas. Jörgen has a very strong name, know-how and experience in corporate law, M&A and capital markets, says Joakim Edoff, CEO of Setterwalls.
Over the past fifteen years I have worked primarily with transactions relating to raising capital for listed companies on the Swedish and international equity capital markets including IPOs and the issue of shares and bonds. Setterwalls’ ambition is to grow in these areas, which was an important factor in attracting me to the firm. Another draw was Setterwalls’ highly competent and committed workforce with whom I have had contact in a variety of settings and I now look forward to working with them in the future, says Jörgen S. Axelsson.
We continue to grow and take market share in an increasingly complex world by being a proactive advisor. We look forward to building on this together with Jörgen S. Axelsson, not least when it comes to specialist corporate, capital markets and securities law. Jörgen strengthens our capacity in equity capital markets and corporate bonds in respect of the larger corporations, says Anders Söderlind, partner and head of Setterwalls’ corporate, equity capital markets and M&A practice groups.
Setterwalls is one of Sweden’s largest law firms with a workforce of 260, of which 190 are lawyers. Setterwalls has experienced specialists in all areas of commercial law and solid experience in the majority of industries. Corporate law, acquisitions and equity capital markets are Setterwalls’ largest practice areas.
