Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP

The firm: Curtis, Mallet-Prevost, Colt & Mosle LLP, founded in 1830, was one of the first US law firms to develop a truly international practice. Dedicated to counselling clients involved with some of the most challenging transnational transactions and complex multijurisdictional disputes, Curtis represents multinational companies, international financial institutions, government and state-owned entities, family and other privately held businesses, entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals. With offices in the United States, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Central and East Asia, Curtis is located in the key business centres where clients need the firm most.

Areas of practice: The office focuses on international arbitration, international trade and international tax work. Lawyers in Geneva coordinate closely with the firm’s 16 other offices in the United States, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Central and East Asia.

As an important centre for international trade and arbitral disputes, the Geneva office provides clients with access to market-leading groups in both these areas. Clients benefit from Curtis’ top-ranked practice teams and experience in both international arbitration and international trade. These practice groups are consistently ranked as global leaders by Chambers and The Legal 500. Curtis’ international arbitration lawyers have also been ranked at the highest levels by Global Arbitration Review and The American Lawyer.

The Geneva office also advises clients on all aspects of international taxation, cross-border mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, and investment management. Lawyers in the tax group work closely with those in the international arbitration team, particularly in disputes where tax issues are at the core of the claims.

Curtis’ Geneva-based lawyers advise and represent private companies, family offices, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, multinational corporations, financial institutions, investment managers and sovereign entities on a broad range of international legal matters. Leading legal directories also recognise the firm’s international tax and investment management capabilities.

Lawyers in Geneva are internationally qualified and have worked in the other offices of the firm. Clients benefit from a highly integrated team approach across the firm’s offices and practice groups.
