OUR PHILOSOPHY
BRIDGE
« Transacting business abroad as if at home »
To serve as a bridge between cultures / jurisdictions. Multi-cultural background and international contacts enable us to be your
bridge between:
Zurich / German spoken part of Switzerland and Geneva / its French spoken part
Civil Law jurisdictions and Common Law jurisdictions
Switzerland, as European headquarters for companies, and the world
CONFIDENCE
« If you want a friend, be one »
Confidence with clients through personal contact. We like to become friends with our clients and are happy when our friends become clients.
BUSINESS AWARENESS
« A good business attorney is a businessman with legal skills »
Maurice has spent many years as in-house and as general counsel. This has granted him invaluable experience and taught him legal modesty: Law is only one dimension determining business decisions.
INDEPENDENCE
« Our interest is yours; we are responsible towards our client and no one else »
Unlike many medium-size or large law firms, boutique law firms are geared to be much closer to their clients, sometimes even entirely dedicated to them.
KEEP IT SIMPLE
« Streamlining complexity »
Let us be deal-makers, not deal-breakers.
MULTIPLE LEGAL EDUCATION
« If you want to win, you must know the playing field of the opponent »
As the American law system has become THE world legal system, Maurice has spent years gaining the best possible:
Academic education in USA Law
Professional license to practice law in the USA/California
Professional experience in the USA
PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE
« Book-smarts and street-smarts »
Academic knowledge alone is of no use in the market place. We are very active with a pragmatic approach in various jurisdictions for more than 35 years.
PREVENTION
« An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure »
Our goal is to avoid problems by anticipating them. This is certainly our most distinct approach and your most appreciated benefit, as problems are to be avoided, not just to be solved.
SPECIALISED as GENERALIST
« Thinking outside-the-Box and seeing the big picture »
Only a trained generalist can spot issues and choose the proper way to integrate different fields of law in different jurisdictions and develop the best solutions.
