A Boutique Firm with a Global Perspective
Combining the personalized service of a Swiss boutique with the depth and sophistication of an international practice, we provide clients with access to the expertise they need, wherever their business takes them. Our advice is pragmatic, our approach client-oriented, and our solutions carefully tailored to the commercial realities of each case.
Swiss Precision. Global Reach.
Our work is defined by precision. For us, precision means more than technical accuracy; it is about understanding our clients’ business, anticipating challenges, and delivering legal and strategic guidance that moves them forward.
We advise on matters governed by Swiss, English, French, and Brazilian laws, representing clients before national courts and authorities and assisting them in domestic disputes and transactions.
We also handle cross-border matters. Experienced in both common law and civil law systems, our multilingual team works seamlessly across jurisdictions, regularly acting as international counsel in cross-borders disputes and transactions.
SMBC Law operates in association with Hill Dickinson LLP, an international commercial law firm with offices in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. We also maintain close collaborations with a number of firms in other jurisdictions, including Africa and Latin America. These partnerships broaden our reach and enhance our ability to deliver comprehensive counsel, supported by a global network and deep industry expertise.
