Litigation and Arbitration

For over 30 years, our Litigation and Arbitration group has been assisting Swiss and foreign clients in domestic and international disputes before judicial bodies, administrative authorities and arbitral tribunals.

Our extensive practical experience in litigation and trial proceedings enables us to anticipate and effectively manage disputes as they arise. Our team blends legal excellence, pragmatism and availability to deliver service and advice that meet the high standards demanded by our clients.

Our lawyers intervene and provide counsel at every stage of a dispute. They assist you even before a dispute arises, offering crisis management, risk assessments and the implementation of pre-litigation strategies. Our firm represents clients before all courts, including civil, criminal, commercial, administrative and arbitration courts.

Our litigation and arbitration team has a thorough understanding of the judicial mechanisms and arbitration institutions. The combination of our expertise and the rigour and perseverance of our lawyers (some with a military background) enables us to provide our clients with highly effective representation.

Our firm assembles multidisciplinary teams tailored to the specific needs of each case. We have earned the trust of a demanding and diverse clientele of companies and executives across all sectors of the economy, including leading banks, renowned industrial groups and prestigious service providers.
