Setterwalls's team garners praise for its 'very high commercial knowledge in the real estate sector'. The group fields expertise in handling the full range of property-related matters, from construction and development work through to transactional issues and commercial leases. The practice is led by the quartet of Stockholm-based Patric Olofsson and Jessica Schönning, Jesper Kuschel in Gothenburg and Anders Frick, who is based in Malmö. The ‘outstanding’ Magnus Steninger is a key name for real estate investments. Counsel Sonny Ragnerstam is well versed in representing domestic and foreign clients in litigation.
