We advise you on all matters relating to contracts, including distribution, purchase, leasing, rental and licensing agreements, as well as on the review of general terms and conditions.

We support you in the negotiation and drafting of the necessary contracts, and accompany them from beginning to develop their business models through to the implementation of appropriate distribution systems.

Furthermore, we also assist foreign companies to establish and expand their business activities in Switzerland.

An essential part of our work is long-term structuring advice under corporate tax law as well as in matters of succession and inheritance for private individuals. We develop tax-efficient restructuring plans, and in the case of international matters we coordinate these with our colleagues abroad. We advise national and international corporations and their subsidiaries as well as family businesses and their shareholders on national and international issues.

Our core strengths are long-term tax planning, restructuring and conversions, company acquisitions and sales, and the assessment of alternatives in company financing. We can advise you on choosing a legal form, setting up a company structure, transferring shares or dividing up companies. Succession and inheritance planning are of central importance to us for the preservation of family assets – we are happy to support you in this.

We support founders, investors and start-ups in corporate law matters and transactions during all phases.

Our activities include the establishment of companies; the negotiation of term sheets; support in financing rounds; the negotiation and drafting of share purchase, shareholders’ and investment agreements; and the structuring of employee participation programs.

We represent our clients before Swiss courts, state authorities and arbitral tribunals. We always strive to achieve the best solution for our clients in the most efficient and professional manner.

Prior to initiating proceedings we assess the chances and risks and facilitate out-of-court solutions where appropriate.

All cases are conducted personally by a specialised lawyer. If required, additional specialists are available in an advisory capacity.

We are specialised in conducting proceedings related to:

• private and public employment law;
• clinical negligence and medical malpractice, state liability in tort and solicitors’ liability (acting exclusively for defendants and their insurers);
• contractual disputes (e.g. sales, construction, transport, financial services, information requests, agency / distribution);
• inheritance law;
• corporate litigation (e.g. post M&A, joint ventures, shareholders’ agreements, directors’ liability);
• freezing assets and enforcing judgments / arbitral awards;
• tax proceedings.

We support you in the drafting of contracts (e.g., license agreements, marketing agreements), advise you and represent you in court in intellectual property law (in particular copyright and trademark law) and advertising law.

We support you in connection with publications both online and in newspapers, television or radio and with social media. In the event of disputes, we strive for optimum solutions in each individual case and represent you before state courts and other entities. Our advice also covers issues of sector-specific regulation (e.g., broadcasting law).

Our M&A team focuses on takeovers under private law within the scope of company acquisitions, mergers and capital increases. Our advice includes the structuring and planning of share deals as well as takeovers of businesses (asset deals), support in initial discussions with potential buyers or sellers, the split-off of assets before execution (pre-closing carve-outs), the performance of due diligence reviews, and preparation of the necessary documents and negotiations.

We work closely together with our colleagues from other fields of law, in particular tax law, who support us in structuring transactions. We represent a wide range of domestic and foreign clients, including strategic and financial investors such as private equity funds and venture capitalists, international corporate groups, family businesses, start-ups and their founders.
