“Noted for its strength in real estate and construction disputes”
The construction, real estate and infrastructure sectors are at the core of our expertise.
Drawing on our exceptional disputes capability, we regularly represent owners, contractors, subcontractors, investors and governments in complex construction and real estate disputes, be it in international arbitration and other ADR proceedings, including before dispute boards, or before local courts.
Our construction lawyers advise clients from around the world on complex transactions relating to a broad range of construction and infrastructure projects, including EPC and turnkey contracts, joint venture and consortia agreements, privatisation agreements, and public procurement.
More locally, we frequently assist clients in relation to real estate transactions and construction projects in Switzerland.
