Dispute Resolution and Litigation

Our litigation lawyers in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, Sion and Zurich practise in all cantons and before all courts. We frequently represent clients in proceedings before federal courts, notably before the Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne. Our litigation lawyers deal with interim injunctions, attachments, rights of retention, the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments, insolvency proceedings and international legal assistance. They are called upon to support clients in foreign proceedings, particularly in the USA, and to handle matters relating to Swiss law there. Our litigation lawyers handle proceedings relating to, amongst other things, distribution agreements, franchising, joint ventures, competition and antitrust law, securities law, company law, liability claims, financial and banking law, insurance law, construction and engineering law, property law, international sale of goods, transport law, general liability and product liability, fraud and embezzlement as well as the recovery of the relevant assets, sports law, employment law, corporate acquisitions, intellectual property, information and communication technology, tax law, and public law.

Our resources enable us to assemble the appropriate teams for each case. As our client, you always have the same attorney or same team as your point of contact. The partner in charge is kept informed of the current status of the case at all times. Our clients are an integral part of the team: the strategy to be pursued is determined in collaboration with you, and this allows you to keep costs under control.
