Reviews about the firm
The firm's banking and finance lawyers are recognised leaders on the Swedish market (Chambers Global/Europe, PLC Which Lawyer?, Legal 500, IFLR 1000, Expert Guides). Market research also confirms that our lawyers are renowned for their technical expertise and for always providing high quality work.  

"With an 'extremely prominent banking and finance practice' and one of the largest teams in the country, Mannheimer Swartling is 'highly rated and fantastic to work with'. Clients particularly highlight the 'broad range of work covered by a very large number of skilled lawyers.'" (Chambers Global – 2008)

"André Andersson is team leader of a highly rated 48-fee-earner banking group at Mannheimer Swartling which is 'unquestionably tier one'. Owing to its size it probably has the broadest focus of any firm here, from high-value acquisition finance through to regulatory work and smaller syndicated loans for borrowers." (Legal 500 – 2007)
