With an established presence across the sectors of pharmaceuticals, energy, and telecoms, Lenz & Staehelin is well-versed at handling high-stakes and multi-jurisdictional arbitration work and is recommended for its ‘innovative strategic thinking’. Xavier Favre-Bulle and the ’impressive’ Harold Frey head up the firm’s offering, with Geneva-based Favre-Bulle holding more than 30 years of experience in managing disputes with elements of post M&A, licences, and luxury goods, among others, while Zurich-based Frey assists clients with all facets of construction and M&A disputes, alongside licensing and joint venture arbitration mandates. Martin Burkhardt excels in financial services, investments, and joint venture work, and Thierry Calame is well-positioned to advise a panoply of clients on IP arbitration, especially those surrounding patents. Daniel Tunik is highly knowledgeable in relation to insolvency law, white-collar crimes, and employment disputes, with Martin Aebi contributing his capabilities in IP, construction, and banking disputes.
