Lawyer Rankings

Switzerland > Sports law

Recommended for its ‘unmatched experience of representing institutional clients before CAS’, Kellerhals Carrard is well-positioned to advise on football and doping-related disputes, alongside demonstrating notable strengths in commercial programs, and regulatory and governance issues. The practice is jointly led by the ‘masterful’ David Casserly, who frequently handles matters pertaining to significant commercial deals, and Nicolas Zbinden, who is a very experienced practitioner on the anti-doping side of the sports sector and is praised for his ‘unwavering judgement and integrity’. Jean-Pierre Morand is particularly well-versed in regulatory and commercial disputes as well as sport commercial contracts, and other key practitioners in the group include Andrea Fioravanti, Philippe Frésard, Massimiliano Maestretti, Stefano Perucchi, Jean-Philippe Rochat and Adam Taylor.
