Setterwalls is one of Sweden’s leading full-service business law firms, as well as one of Sweden’s largest law firms, with some 245 lawyers servicing clients from its three offices in Sweden’s largest cities – Stockholm, Gothenburg (Göteborg) and Malmoe (Malmö). Setterwalls is an independent law firm with an extensive, well-established international network. Established in 1878, it is also Sweden’s oldest law firm.

Setterwalls is based in Scandinavia,one of the world’s most globalised business environments, and therefore accustomed to working in multinational contexts – across linguistic and cultural boundaries. All in all, about half of Setterwalls’ client assignments originate from countries outside of Sweden, including many of the world-leading companies, banks and other financial institutions.

Being a law firm with international relations, Setterwalls has established a number of foreign desks – the China desk, the French desk and the German desk – to meet clients’ demand for truly international expertise and legal advice. Each desk consists of a group of lawyers who combine legal specialist expertise with linguistic skills and a deep understanding of the business culture and legal system of China, France and Germany respectively.

Firm overview

A leading commercial boutique law firm with focus on transactions

As a modern boutique firm, we combine the entrepreneur’s drive and commitment with solid legal expertise, receptiveness, and a sound corporate culture.

Our vision is to be Sweden’s leading boutique firm/law firm within our practice areas. Our mission is to assist our clients in making considered and sound business decisions and ensure that the legal aspects of the decisions are formalised through an efficient negotiation process and wisely drafted agreements.

That is what we call ”Excellence in Transactions” - Welcome to Wigge & Partners!

How we work

At Wigge & Partners, we work in small teams, tailored for each matter, with an experience partner taking a hands-on role in each project. We often provide advice and transaction support throughout the whole process, from early strategic planning of commercial and structural matters and negotiations to formalising the terms and implementation. We have well-established partnerships with leading experts and law firms within all practice areas that are not covered by our own in order to provide full-service solutions for each transaction. As we operate in markets where the transaction flow is high, we have a solid understanding not of the legal aspects, but also of business trends and market practice.

Long-term relationships

Each client of ours is a key client. We choose our clients with care and invest considerably in our relationships in order to maintain long-term collaborations based on trust and integrity.

Our history

Wigge & Partners was founded in 2015 by five partners from one of Sweden’s leading full-service law firms. Today we are more than 40 colleagues of which ten are partners. Acknowledging that our people is our core, we put great emphasis in creating and maintaining a pleasant and sustainable corporate culture.
