More informationMore information

A team that is especially recommended for its ‘efficiency, drafting ability and industry know-how’, Homburger’s ‘pre-eminent’ position in this field is demonstrated by its diverse client roster of blue-chip companies and its regular involvement in high-profile and complex mandates. The practice is jointly spearheaded by Gregor Bühler, Andri Hess, Georg Rauber and Luca Dal Molin. ’Highly analytical’ Bühler possesses a strong grounding in the enforcement of trade marks, while ‘excellent’ patent litigation leader Hess’s arsenal of skills prominently includes international scale IP disputes as well as the negotiation and drafting of IP rights related contracts. Rauber’s extensive transactional and arbitration experience further enhances the practice, and Dal Molin enjoys a strong reputation in the handling of IP-related matters attached to transactions and outsourcing projects.
