Utilising its considerable technical expertise, VISCHER handles a steady stream of international tax planning, real estate transactions, wealth planning and tax litigation, and frequently acts for venture capital investors, corporates and start-ups. The team is recommended for its ‘highly solution-oriented approach’. Three key players operate at the forefront of the practice: Christoph Niederer, who is chiefly recognised in international financing transactions, Tobias Rohner, who is a highly capable practitioner in the sphere of VAT, and Nadia Tarolli Schmidt, who is fully immersed in the life sciences sector. Patrik Fisch and Adrian Briner are other names to note.

‘Their tax team demonstrates a highly solution-oriented approach. Collaboration with them is constructive.'
‘Tobias Rohner has broad knowledge of tax law solutions for Swiss and foreign corporations as well as high net worth individuals.’
‘We greatly enjoy working with Vischer because they have an exceptionally well-functioning team where everyone is fully informed about everything.'
‘We primarily work with Tobias Rohner. He is not a typical tax lawyer who usually only sees risks. Tobias Rohner is solution-oriented, thinks very quickly, and is super smart and well-known, and therefore has an influence on the practices of the tax authorities. He is even a tax judge, which makes him extremely well-connected. When we reach an impasse, we turn to him because he always has a creative solution up his sleeve.’
