Gillioz Dorsaz & AssociƩs > Firm Profile
Founded in 1982 and nowadays established in Geneva and Hong Kong, Gillioz Dorsaz & AssociƩs provides advice and legal representation in the conduct of their business to individual and corporate clients, both Swiss and international.
The legal training and experience of our partners and associates enables us to offer fully personalized services, adapted to each clientās particular needs and oriented towards practical solutions.
Our firm guarantees each and every client direct and continuing communication with one or more partners with a view to forging a long-term relationship based on accessibility, efficiency and confidentiality.
We are not only fully conversant with the latest legal developments but also seek to anticipate the evolution of law in our areas of expertise so as to be able to propose lasting solutions to our clients.
Rather than belonging to a more or less exclusive international legal alliance, we have built up an extensive international network of prominent correspondents and business contacts and are thus able to freely select among them the one most qualified and best suited for a specific matter.
Imbued with a strong team spirit, our firm provides all its clients with highest-quality services combining diverse areas of expertise, an international orientation and extensive experience of close collaboration with counterparts abroad. This enables us to conduct or coordinate highly complex transactions and litigation within Switzerland and at international level.
Established in Geneva since its foundation, our firm opened a Hong Kong office in Autumn 2014. The main purpose of our Hong Kong office is to advise Swiss and European clients already operating or wishing to operate in Asia. Our firm also advises Asian corporations, financial institutions and private clients which intend to invest or settle down in Switzerland.
We enjoy a strong reputation for reliability, professionalism and integrity among our clients, our peers and judicial and administrative authorities.
