Martin AebiLenz & Staehelin

A team recommended for its ‘truly global outlook’ and ‘great communication and organisational skills’, Lenz & Staehelin has recently been engaged by an impressive roster of clients to assist with mandates including post-M&A and construction disputes, as well as substantive and procedural matters produced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ukraine crisis. It is pre-eminent with a diverse scope of sectors, from energy and telecoms to luxury goods and sports. ‘Exquisite top-performing colleague’ Harold Frey and ‘one of the leading arbitration practitioners’ Xavier Favre-Bulle spearhead the team from the firm’s Zurich and Geneva offices respectively. The former is especially noted for his vast experience in construction and M&A disputes on an international scale, and the latter utilises his wide-ranging experience to take on the role of President of the Arbitration Court of the Swiss Arbitration Centre. Commercial litigator Martin Burkhardt and IP expert Thierry Calame further bolster the practice. Daniel Tunik is notably active in the banking sector, and Martin Aebi consistently covers construction, M&A and banking arbitration.
