Our four practice groups

Whether for private individuals, companies domiciled in Switzerland or foreign companies or groups of companies, anyone doing business or intending to do business in Switzerland is confronted with various legal hurdles. Our team has many years of expertise and experience to develop, together with you, the legal framework to ensure the success of your business as well as to plan and implement your business succession.

Disputes are not always avoidable and sometimes rights must be protected and pursued through litigation or arbitration. In such conflicts we assess your success chances and support you to develop and implement an effective dispute resolution strategy. This may include avoiding proceedings through out-of-court settlements, or engaging in a dispute. With decades of experience and expertise, we support and represent you with commitment, strategic foresight and tactical skill in civil, arbitration and administrative proceedings.

Our team has many years of experience in advising private individuals and entrepreneurs in matters of family and inheritance law. We act not only as legal counsel, but also as trusted sparring partners. Business succession is one of the central challenges that entrepreneurs face. We provide comprehensive support in planning and implementing tailored succession solutions, whether within the family or through an external transfer. Continuity and trust in specialized advisers are of central importance. The broad and extensive expertise of our team members, particularly in corporate and inheritance law, enables us to provide comprehensive advice even in complex cases, to structure bespoke succession and asset arrangements, to implement them efficiently, and to represent your interests in court when necessary. For cross-border matters, our team draws on a global network of specialists to ensure optimal, sustainable solutions that are tailored to your needs.

Liability and insurance law issues often arise for individuals and companies in complex and stressful situations in which sound advice and decisive action can make all the difference. Our team has recognized expertise in private insurance law, social insurance law and liability law – from out-of-court dispute resolution to the enforcement of claims before courts and administrative authorities.

We represent both insurance companies and policyholders and understand the subject matter from both perspectives. We also advise insurance companies and other regulated market participants on supervisory and regulatory matters. Our longstanding experience in these specialized areas of law enables us to deal efficiently and comprehensively with the interfaces between liability, insurance coverage and regulation.
