Bär & Karrer Ltd.

Client Satisfaction

Regarded as a team of ‘highly responsive strategic thinkers’, Bär & Karrer Ltd. represents clients across a broad scope of litigation, ranging from insurance and employment law litigation, to disputes involving trusts and estates and bankruptcy-related proceedings. Alongside this, the practice demonstrates considerable proficiency across financial services, healthcare, energy and sports sectors, among others. The practice is jointly led by Matthew Reiter, Aurélie Conrad Hari and Cesare Jermini. Reiter’s particular expertise lies in the remit of complex domestic and international commercial disputes, while Conrad Hari bolsters the practice with her capabilities across financial, banking and commercial disputes. Jermini’s wide-ranging experience encompasses commercial law, private international law and real estate, to name a few. Nadja Jaisli Kull is especially active in the banking and finance, pharma and transport fields, with Andreas Länzlinger possessing a wealth of experience in handling large scale internal investigations at global enterprises. Andrew Garbarski and Saverio Lembo are also key members of the practice. Claudia Götz Staehelin and Oliver M. Brupbacher both joined from Kellerhals Carrard in April 2023, adding significant life sciences capabilities to the team.
