Lawyer Rankings
Switzerland > Intellectual property
Stefan Kohler and Lorenz Ehrler jointly spearhead VISCHER‘s ‘proactive and client-oriented’ intellectual property practice, which possesses significant experience in undertaking patent and trade mark litigation. Kohler is well-versed in the pharma, biotech and medical tech sectors, handling a diverse range of issues from technology transfer and licensing to R&D co-operations, while Ehrler contributes his expertise in brand protection and trade mark matters to the practice. Rolf Auf Der Maur is particularly prominent in the media sector, being regularly entrusted by clients to assist with copyright and trade mark issues.
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.
