Considered a ‘knowledge leader in Swiss real estate’, Niederer Kraft Frey Ltd is a tour-de-force in relation to a diverse litany of property acquisitions and investments, development projects and real estate restructurings, and the group is routinely entrusted by notable banks, funds and private investors for assistance with multi-faceted mandates. The group is headed by Andreas F Vögeli, who is highly experienced in a varied range of real estate transactions and hotel and leisure projects. Fabiano Menghini handles a significant volume of structuring, asset transfers and share deals, while Marc Iynedjian is equipped to handle complex energy infrastructure projects. Annina Fey and Oliver Zbinden are other key names to note in the practice. Former real estate practice co-head at Baker McKenzie Switzerland SA, Charles Gschwind joined the firm post-publication in December 2025.
