The International Business Law Circle - quality knows no boundaries

The globalization of markets and the increasing expansion of business areas increasingly require an international perspective and the assessment of legal issues from the perspective of the respective local law.

To ensure that our clients receive successful advice and representation abroad, we work closely with our preferred partner law firms on international legal issues. Thanks to our network partners in Germany, Austria, Italy, France, the USA, Asia, and Australia, who in turn maintain further correspondence partnerships, we are able to provide you with the right contacts around the globe as needed.

Together, we form The International Business Law Circle, which emerged from the SwissLegal Preferred Partner Program and has quickly established itself as an efficient platform for clarifying cross-border legal issues.
