We support foreign companies in setting up and expanding their business activities in Switzerland.

We advise you on the ideal form of establishment (e.g. agency or distribution agreement, incorporation of a branch or subsidiary company, acquisition of an existing structure), tax aspects and employment law issues.

We can incorporate companies through our own notaries and draw up the necessary contracts, depending on the type of set-up chosen.

Mit unserem fundierten Wissen im Bereich Technologie und Recht beraten wir Sie bei IT- oder Digitalisierungsprojekten, Telekommunikationsfragen, Fintech-Lösungen oder zur Blockchain.
Unser Team hilft Ihnen Ihre Cloud-Verträge (z.B. SaaS-, IaaS-Verträge) und On-Premises-Lösungen (z.B. Projekt- und Lizenzverträge, agile Entwicklung) zu verfassen, zu verhandeln und durchzusetzen und unterstützt Sie beim IT-Outsourcing. Wir begleiten Sie während des ganzen Prozesses vom Request for Information/Proposal bis hin zum Projektabschluss.
Wir unterstützen Sie bei der Digitalisierung Ihrer Prozesse und Verfahren indem wir die rechtlichen Anforderungen berücksichtigen, und beraten Sie zum Schutz und zur Verwertung Ihrer Daten (z.B. AI, IoT). Wir arbeiten interdisziplinär.

Wenn Sie ein neues Produkt in die Schweiz einführen möchten, stellen wir die Compliance mit der hiesigen Gesetzgebung sicher und stehen Ihnen als Schweizer Kontaktadresse für die Behörden oder im Bereich des Datenschutzes zur Verfügung.
Bei der Preisfestsetzung führen wir zudem Verfahren gegen die marktbeherrschenden Telekommunikationsunternehmen und die öffentliche Hand.
Zudem begleiten wir Sie als Kompetenzzentrum bei Technologie-Due-Diligences im Rahmen von M&A-Transaktionen.

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 assist you and your start-up in coporate law matters and transactions at all stages.

Our services include the incorporation of companies, the negotiation of term sheets, assistance in financing rounds, the negotiation and drafting of share purchase agreements, shareholder’s agreements and investment agreements as well as the structuring of employee patricpation plans.

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).
