A successful, independent law firm with over 30 years of experience.

We combine a high level of proven expertise with the benefits of a lean structure and a strong sense of teamwork. Our firm was established in 1992 by Thomas Wartmann and Rudolf Merker, two entrepreneurial and internationally minded lawyers. Since then, we have grown into a leading dispute resolution firm.

The core values of our founders continue to guide our work: We understand why our clients need solutions. We assist in clarifying objectives and finding resolutions. Our advice is clear, honest and grounded in solid legal analysis. This is how we conduct proceedings; it governs how we provide advice and how we communicate with our clients.
