Chambers & Partners 2025 global rankings announced

We are proud to share that our founders, Johan Lundberg and Svante Hultqvist, have been recognised in Banking & Finance in the Chambers & Partners Global Rankings 2025.

While RE:FI STHLM is a relatively new name in the industry, these rankings highlight the expertise, dedication, and results our team has been delivering to clients for many years. The individual recognition of Johan Lundberg (Band 1) and Svante Hultqvist (Senior Statesperson) is not only a testament to their achievements but also reflects the strength of our entire team and the decades of effort that have gone into building a market-leading financing practice.

“Though our firm is young, our team is not. With decades of experience and a proven track record in the market, we have built one of Sweden’s most formidable financing teams. Each member of our team deserves recognition, and our up-and-coming partner colleagues Mirja Sikander, Joachim Strand, and Sebastian Karlsson exemplify the depth and breadth of our expertise. Their contributions, along with the dedication of our entire growing team, reinforce our position as a leading force in the Swedish financing market—second to none,” says Johan Lundberg.

Chambers & Partners’ rankings are based on extensive research, including feedback from clients and industry peers. Earning a ranking requires not only legal excellence but also a strong reputation and a proven ability to deliver outstanding results.

“We’re incredibly proud of what we’ve built at RE:FI STHLM in such a short time. This recognition is a testament to the trust our clients place in us, as well as the expertise and dedication of our growing team,” says Johan Lundberg.

“While we are incredibly proud of this recognition and what we’ve built at RE:FI STHLM in such a short time, we also look forward to seeing RE:FI STHLM rise in the firm rankings in the near future—reflecting the deep experience and strong market standing of our team and the firm as a whole,” Lundberg adds.
