He has a wide range of professional skills in complex corporate matters and related litigation areas, advising shareholders, board members, banks, creditors and companies.

His personal experience as board member allows him to better understand the expectations of directors and other business leaders from more than just a legal perspective.

Some recent examples of his work in restructuring and insolvency include: Swiss counsel in a complex cross-border restructuring including a syndicated trade finance arrangement; Swiss counsel of a secured creditor in a restructuring of an international group of companies; and acting as a member of an informal team in charge of analysing the impact and adequacy of an urgent law drafted by the Swiss Federal Council for covid-19 distressed businesses.
