"Maurice Courvoisier is a litigation and arbitration superstar. He is, due to his tremendous track record, capable to assess complex litigation and arbitration risks and changes very fast, he is coming up with excellent, highly precise and strong arguments and submissions supporting his client's position in the best way possible." - The Legal 500

Maurice Courvoisier advises and represents clients in arbitration and litigation proceedings in all areas of corporate and commercial law, including sales, distribution and licensing contracts, construction and civil engineering, joint ventures, and mergers and acquisitions. His areas of expertise include general contract law, private international law and international procedural law, as well as international judicial assistance and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments and arbitral awards in Switzerland. In addition, Maurice has a wealth of experience in dealing with theatre, art and sports-related law. He also acts as an arbitrator, and is included in the ICC Switzerland list of arbitrators.

Maurice is listed as a "National Leader" in litigation and arbitration by Who’s Who Legal (WWL) and as an expert in litigation and international arbitration by Best Lawyers.

Maurice is co-head of the Basel local group of the Swiss Arbitration Association (ASA), legal counsel of the Union of Swiss Theatres, member of the Federal Arbitration Commission for the Exploitation of Copyrights and Related Rights, member of the Basel supervisory authority for lawyers, former long-time member of the Basel Bar Association board and a former member of the court of arbitration of the Swiss Chambers' Arbitration Institution (SCAI).
