Banking Law
Alexandre de Senarclens, Olivier Rivoire, Raphaël Faure
The diversity and scope of the regulatory standards applicable to the financial sector (Thanks to banking law) mean that there is a growing need for legal advice for financial institutions, whether they be banks, asset managers or other financial intermediaries.
Your immigration lawyer, expert in banking law, advises financial institutions on their dealings with clients, business partners, supervisory bodies (SBs) and the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA). In this capacity, we assist our clients with organisational matters, obtaining the necessary authorisations and drafting contracts specific to their business activities.
Our firm provides specialised assistance in complex legal proceedings in the financial sector. We assist individuals and companies with asset recovery, particularly in cases involving liability for mismanagement or criminal offences. Thanks to our network of partner firms abroad, we can coordinate and monitor cases with an international dimension.
