The team at Walder Wyss Ltd. is particularly active in commercial litigation, where it ‘knows how to best navigate a client through complex cases’. White-collar crime, including fraud and embezzlement, insolvency-related matters, director’s liability and money laundering cases, is another core area of strength. Dieter Hofmann leads a department comprising both a deep partner bench, which includes senior names such as business crime specialist Rodolphe Gautier and contract-disputes focused Maurice Courvoisier, and a considerable pool of recommended associates such as Roxane Allot.
