Christoph Lang and Sébastien Roy jointly helm the ‘pragmatic and business oriented’ team at Pestalozzi, which operates across a plethora of mandates, varying from public takeovers and demergers to licensing and public issuance work. Lang particularly excels on the corporate law side, while Roy is noted for his strengths across transactional, contractual, and regulatory mandates. Petra Hanselmann is knowledgeable across a spread of issues, such as private equity transactions, pre-transaction restructurings, and joint ventures, with Severin Roelli being recommended for his expertise in M&A transactions with particular regard to public takeovers. Pascal Richard and Beat Schwarz are other names to note in the group, both capable of acting on a domestic and international scale.
