Lawyer Rankings
Switzerland > Dispute resolution: litigation
‘High-quality’ VISCHER possesses a wealth of experience in the enforcement of foreign judgments, banking disputes, and insurance litigation. Zurich-based ‘service-oriented’ commercial litigator Daniele Favalli, Basel-based Thomas Weibel and Geneva-based Gerald Virieux steer the practice. Weibel’s arsenal of capabilities includes matters arising from the financial services, defence and aviation sectors, and Virieux’s strengths lie in cross-border disputes, including handling foreign court decisions and enforcing arbitral awards. Karin Graf frequently handles matters pertaining to corporate, commercial trade and banking matters. Managing partner Christian Oetiker is a key name to note, with Felix C Meier-Dieterle enjoying a strong reputation in attachment law. Lorenz Ehrler and Raphael Butz are also recommended.
