BNP Paribas Cross-border banking merger

BNP Paribas Group has recently restructured its banking activities in Switzerland. This restructuring took the form of a cross-border merger of BNP Paribas Suisse SA with its parent entity, BNP Paribas SA, Paris, resulting in the opening of a branch office in Geneva and an extension of the activities of its existing Zurich branch. Lenz & Staehelin assisted BNP Paribas on the regulatory and corporate aspects of this complex and innovative transaction. The Lenz & Staehelin team included Shelby R. du Pasquier and Isy Isaac Sakkal (Regulatory and Corporate), as well as Ipek Yüce (Corporate).
