About

The legal team at Liebherr, one of the world’s largest manufacturers of construction equipment, often flies under the radar but is, according to nominators, among the core strengths of the company. While the company’s eleven divisions are each managed separately, the coordination efforts required by the central team to help Liebherr function as a unit are significant. With the company undertaking diverse and complex operations in a number of jurisdictions, the legal team is frequently called upon to step outside its comfort zone. For showing the breadth of its expertise and playing an integral role in delivering value by realising the company’s strategy, the Liebherr legal team is recognised as one of the leading Swiss in-house functions.
