19. November 2024 – We are honored to be listed by the International Employment Lawyers Elite for 2025!

IEL describes our team as “the impressive employment department at Walder Wyss”, with our offices being spread in Basel, Berne, Geneva, Lausanne, Lugano, and Zurich. With our services available in French, Italian, German, and English, we are ensuring effective communication tailored to our clients’ needs.

Furthermore, IEL emphasizes our experts and services and how knowledge goes hand in hand with the power of teamwork:

Clients hail from retail, transport, and leisure to heavily regulated industries such as financial services, pharmaceuticals and life sciences, and TMT, showcasing the team’s availability in a broad range of sectors.

Partners Rayan Houdrouge in Geneva, Philippe Nordmann in Basel, and Irène Suter-Sieber and Simone Wetzstein in Zurich, are key contacts and key leaders to their team, characterized by their rich diversity, bringing together 51 experts from various backgrounds and specialties.

The team’s full coverage of the A-to-Z of employment matters includes expertise in employment-adjacent topics, such as social security, as well as Swiss Financial Markets Authority compensation regulations. It is regularly called on by major foreign or multinational firms without a presence in Switzerland to support their clients in Swiss matters.

The firm’s contentious work extends to litigation – including claims relating to working time, clawbacks, harassment, terminations, bonuses – and sensitive internal investigations. This extends to matters with criminal law elements, and multi-country proceedings.
