Regarded for its combination of ‘technical expertise with commercial pragmatism’, Lenz & Staehelin maintains a broad offering that extends across abuse of dominance issues, restrictive practices, and cartel investigations. Other core streams of work for the team include dawn raids and leniency issues. The practice is steered by ’star’ lawyer Marcel Meinhardt and ‘top expert’ Benoît Merkt; the former is a tour-de-force across the sectors of insurance, banking, and energy, among others, while the latter is renowned for his strengths in managing Swiss and European merger control issues. Astrid Waser demonstrates considerable prowess on the non-contentious side, while Sevan Antreasyan possesses expertise in relation to merger control, cartel investigations and infringement proceedings.
