Mannheimer Swartling

The firm: Mannheimer Swartling’s roots date to 1877. The modern firm was founded through a merger between Mannheimer & Zetterlöf and Carl Swartling Advokatbyrå on 1 July 1990.

The first contacts between Mannheimer & Zetterlöf and Carl Swartling Advokatbyrå were initiated in 1977. The firms continued to have a close working relationship, exchanging financial information and holding joint training days until 1990, when the two firms were officially merged. The merger was facilitated by the firms’ shared principles: a will to develop a joint legal practice over the long term and a generous attitude towards partners and employees.

The merger led to the creation of a firm with approximately 90 lawyers. Time has shown that merging was the correct decision, and the firm has thrived ever since.
