‘MME is, in my view, one the most prominent boutique firm in terms of labour and employment matters in Switzerland. The strength of the international client base of the firm is supplemented by a wide range of products and services that are provided in the area of compensation and benefits, and also on tax, pensions and immigration, so they actually cover any and all aspects a global human resources leader can actually request. The business-orientation advice they provide is remarkable, which is particularly helpful when co-ordinating a number of different jurisdictions for the same client. They actually provide legal advice oriented to the business and oriented to find the most appropriate solution for the company in each specific case, due to their actual knowledge of certain businesses (especially, technology, consulting, financial services). This is definitely supplemented by the speed of responses, which exceeds usual expectations for an international market. I would rate the overall service at MME as one of the best in Switzerland.‘
