‘Platinum tier’ Homburger counts blue-chip companies and technology giants among its key roster of clients, and it also boasts established relationships with data protection authorities in Switzerland. The practice is jointly helmed by Gregor Bühler and ’very diligent thinker’ Luca Dal Molin; the former is highly experienced in a significant amount of cross-border mandates and disputes, and the latter is a tour-de-force in relation to GDPR implementation, data transfers, and issues surrounding innovative technology. Kirsten Wesiak-Schmidt is also recommended.
