Switzerland > Employment

Homburger’s interdisciplinary team advises national and international blue-chip clients on complex employment matters such as litigation, investigations, bonus schemes, executive renumeration, and mass dismissals. The team is co-headed by Balz Gross, who is the ‘go-to’ contact when it comes to management compensation, employee participation plans, and abuse of information, and Andreas Müller, who advises companies, boards of directors and compensation/nomination committees on top executive transitions and related employment law matters. Gregor Bühler focuses on the intersection of employment to IP and IT law, whilst Gabrielle Nater-Bass focuses on litigation cases and Claude Lambert designs participation plans and handles corporate governance matters on “say on pay”. Jeremy Reichlin supports clients with mass dismissals and the employment-related aspect of restructurings.
