A dual British-Swiss citizen, Lukas Fellmann represents clients in complex, often cross-border, disputes. He has acted as counsel, arbitrator and secretary in numerous commercial arbitration proceedings.

Lukas Fellmann also offers strategic pre-litigation advice and assists clients before state courts both in the German and French speaking regions of Switzerland. He notably has experience in the construction, pharmaceutical, financial and energy sectors as well as with other multi-faceted commercial issues.
