Utilising its considerable technical expertise, VISCHER handles a steady stream of international tax planning, real estate transactions, wealth planning and tax litigation, and frequently acts for venture capital investors, corporates and start-ups. The team is recommended for its ‘highly solution-oriented approach’. Three key players operate at the forefront of the practice: Christoph Niederer, who is chiefly recognised in international financing transactions, Tobias Rohner, who is a highly capable practitioner in the sphere of VAT, and Nadia Tarolli Schmidt, who is fully immersed in the life sciences sector. Patrik Fisch and Adrian Briner are other names to note.
