Dispute Resolution

Transnational litigation and international judicial assistance in both civil and criminal matters form a significant and growing part of our litigation team’s activities.

Transnational litigation and international judicial assistance in both civil and criminal matters form a significant and growing part of our litigation team’s activities. Our knowledge, experience and academic expertise allow us to provide our clients with reliable and efficient advice and to be at the forefront of new and complex legal issues emerging in the transnational legal world.

We assist in debt collection cases and advise on bankruptcy law and its implications, whether national or international in nature. Another area of our expertise is inheritance law, often combined with questions of succession or transfers in companies.

MLL Legal’s arbitration team combines decades of experience in international arbitration with a deep and specialist knowledge of international business law.

What matters in domestic and international arbitration is to resolve the dispute efficiently and successfully, keeping in mind that a legal solution is a means to a business goal.

Over the last five decades, we have represented clients and acted as arbitrators in hundreds of commercial and investment disputes under the world’s most prominent international arbitration rules (ICC, ICSID, SCAI, CAS, LCIA, DIS, VIAC, CAM, SCC, NAI, DAI, IATA, WIPO, UNCITRAL) and in arbitrations seated in Switzerland and across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas and Asia. We also conduct arbitrations in specialised areas, including sports, commodity trading, trust & estates, and investor-State.

Through an extensive academic and practical knowledge of alternative dispute resolution, our team of lawyers assist clients in mediation proceedings. Mediation is a useful and flexible method of dispute resolution, suitable for international and domestic disputes. Whether in a conflict where parties wish to eventually preserve their personal or commercial relationship, or within an Arb-Med, Med-Arb, or Arb-Med-Arb procedure (mediation coupled with arbitration), our team of experts are suited to intervene as clients’ counsel.

For many states, companies and high net worth individuals having their seat or domicile and/or assets in Switzerland (bank accounts, art collections, shares of companies, real estate, aircraft, etc.), an important part of our activity consists in obtaining the recognition and enforcement of foreign decisions and in attaching assets located in Switzerland. Our experts have invaluable experience in complex enforcement and attachment proceedings involving various jurisdictions, parties and locations.
