Law Firm— Legal activity
We are able to represent our clients in civil, executive and administrative proceedings before courts and authorities, as well as in arbitration. In the area of commercial and corporate law, our firm has many years of experience in contract law, domestic and international merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions, and intellectual property.

M&A and
Corporate Law
We are active in domestic and international M&A transactions, in the latter case in close cooperation with a proven network of international correspondents.
We have significant experience in assisting entrepreneurs in structuring and implementing business succession plans, e.g. in the transfer of businesses to company management (MBO), to the next generation, or to private investors or strategic buyers.
We assist companies and entrepreneurs in all aspects of the corporate life of legal entities, starting from the foundation, through the structuring of proper governance (including the drafting of appropriate organisational regulations and shareholders’ agreements), the implementation of capital increases and all kinds of restructuring.
Contract Law
We assist Swiss companies, as well as their domestic and foreign shareholders, in matters of corporate, commercial and contract law.
We position ourselves as an outsourced legal department and are able to provide legal assistance in various fields of law. We are able to provide timely support in dealing with critical situations, such as relations with competitors, employees, customers and suppliers, landlords and tenants of real estate, as well as in debt collection in national and international contexts.
We advise and assist in the legal structuring of distribution agreements in order to integrate compliance with Swiss regulations on antitrust practices and vertical agreements.
Intellectual Property
We represent international companies and groups in Switzerland (directly or through corresponding law firms) and companies from the inner Switzerland in the Canton of Ticino in civil and criminal proceedings for the protection of trademarks and patents and in the fight against counterfeiting and unfair competition by third parties.
We advise companies and individuals on the commercial exploitation of their intellectual property through licensing, franchising, sponsoring, exclusive or selective distribution agreements, etc.
Litigation
We conduct national and international litigation at all levels of jurisdiction.
We represent and advise our clients in all types of private and commercial litigation, with a strong specialisation in the fields of inheritance law, labour law and contract law.
We pay particular attention to the phase preceding the possible initiation of litigation proceedings, so that our clients can consciously choose and evaluate the opportunity whether to take legal action or to pursue an amicable settlement of their disputes, either through mediation or otherwise.
Sport & Entertainment
We advise on the set up of marketing and sponsorship schemes and we draft the related contracts. We have extensive experience in advising on and drafting contracts for the commercial exploitation of sports-related trademarks and image rights of athletes and entertainment celebrities, as well as in litigation related thereto.
