AUGUSTA, Ga., 16 June 2023 — The 14^th edition of The Best Lawyers in Switzerland™ has been announced by Best Lawyers^®, the oldest and most respected guide to the legal procession globally.

The five practice areas with the largest number of honorees in the 14^th edition are Corporate Law, Litigation, Mergers and Acquisitions Law, Banking and Finance Law and Arbitration and Mediation. In addition to the traditional Best Lawyers accolades, 63 lawyers were bestowed a “Lawyer of the Year” designation for 2024.
