Until the end of 2012, i.e. before the move to Singapore, the main focus was legal advice and support to
NGO's (Non Governmental Organizations). This included the setting up and administration of associations or foundations (including board memberships) in the humanitarian, artistic or educational fields.
Most of the legal advice was therefore related to international issues deriving from the above activities and extended domestic law relevant to the client focus described above. Even though the area of practice covered in theory all areas of the law, it is only in very exceptional cases that family law issues or criminal case were accepted.
Financial Law, Company Law or other Regulatory Law issues are usually referred to
Eric Fiechter.
Litigation is referred to Robert Fiechter (

Mediation and services were offered in areas other than related to commercial matters (Membership problems in
NGO's, management problems, labor law issues, inheritance disputes, etc.). This is still done but only on a not-for-profit basis.
Mediation and arbitration in commercial and banking issues are handled by
