Lenz & Staehelin - Litigation

Lenz & Staehelin enjoys a leading position in litigation, and is the largest of the very few firms that have strong offices in Geneva, Zurich and Lausanne and are able to cover the entire French- and German-speaking parts of Switzerland. We have a long history of renowned litigators, including partners who have served as judges of the court of appeal or who teach at universities.

Our firm enjoys and purposely maintains an image of discretion, and never seeks the limelight in the context of a court case. We do, however, have close links with governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations, and consistently achieve favorable outcomes for our clients.

A hallmark of our practice group is its good team spirit. Partners and associates always build on each others’ strengths. All doors are always open, and the team strives to maintain its young and approachable image. Clients appreciate the close personal contact with our partners and associates and our capacity to respond quickly. They choose us in particular for complicated cases in which they seek thorough advice. We embrace such complex challenges and are ready to immerse ourselves deeply into the relevant areas of the law.

The spectrum of cases covered by our team is extremely broad, and thanks to the extensive and in-depth expertise available in-house and our capacity to share knowledge, we have the capability to work very precisely in the areas involved in a court case. The level of education of our attorneys is such that almost all court cases in business law can be covered by our teams. The breadth and depth of legal expertise available in the firm is clearly unique.
