Dispute Resolution

We guide clients through complex corporate and commercial disputes. Our work spans all stages of dispute resolution, from early negotiations and investigations to proceedings before Swiss courts and arbitral tribunals as well as enforcement of foreign awards. We provide early risk assessments for our clients and develop tailored dispute strategies.

We take a commercial approach to dispute resolution that is aligned with our clients' broader business objectives. We prioritize settlements where possible but are fully prepared to litigate when necessary. Cross-border disputes are managed seamlessly, in close cooperation with top-tier firms in other jurisdictions.
We act decisively in our clients' best interests.

We have extensive experience in domestic and international arbitration, including investor-state disputes. We represent clients under major institutional rules, including Swiss Rules, ICC, LCIA, VIAC, SIAC, UNCITRAL, as well as in ad hoc proceedings.

We regularly act in sports-related disputes and disciplinary matters before governing bodies and the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

Members of our team also serve as arbitrators and mediators in selected cases.
