Homburger‘s concerted focus on representing clients from the regulated industries, including pharmaceuticals and healthcare, financial services, energy, telecoms and transport, ensures a lengthy roster of instructions from blue-chip names in these spheres. The ’top of the market team’ comprises a deep bench of litigators with complementary specialties. Practice co-heads Balz Gross and Roman Baechler are experts in corporate and employment litigation, and banking and insurance disputes, respectively. Felix Dasser is noted for his investment and M&A-related work, while Miguel Sogo is the go-to for insolvency and restructuring cases. For litigation with an ESG angle, Stefanie Pfisterer is the recommended name.
