About Thouvenin

We are a law firm with several decades of experience. As lawyers and entrepreneurs, we understand the business needs of our clients. We distinguish ourselves by operating lean teams with a flat hierarchy – our Partners are not only responsible for acquisition and client care but also act personally on each matter. We provide efficient and high-quality advice and have established long-term partnerships with our clients

Our law firm has three practice groups. The fully-integrated structure of our partnership ensures that the right lawyer is always selected for the right case. Our approach of multiple specialization also ensures that our lawyers not only provide professional and solution-oriented advise within, but also identifies relevant aspects outside of their area of specialization. For complex and multidisciplinary matters, we also work in small and dedicated teams.

Some of our lawyers are Certified Specialists of the Swiss Bar Association in their area of expertise and most have either studied abroad or worked for foreign law firms. Their cumulative experience in foreign jurisdictions, our long-standing cooperation with partner law firms abroad, and our integration into an international network allow us to provide expert advice tailored to our clients’ needs also in cross-border matters.
