Biography

As a Partner at Pestalozzi, I advise financial institutions on complex and strategically significant regulatory matters, both contentious and non-contentious. My practice spans banking and financial services regulation, with particular expertise in asset management and investment funds, fintech and digital assets, anti-money laundering, governance, market conduct and regulatory investigations and enforcement. With more than 20 years of experience, I work with leading Swiss and international banks, securities firms, asset managers, insurers, financial market infrastructures and fintech companies. My advice covers regulatory matters, cross-border transactions and innovative financial products and business models. Clients also rely on me to represent them before FINMA, SIX Swiss Exchange and other Swiss supervisory authorities, including in licensing and enforcement proceedings and regulatory investigations. A significant part of my practice involves serving as an independent Swiss law expert in major domestic and international litigation and arbitration proceedings. In this capacity, I provide expert opinions to Swiss and foreign courts, authorities and arbitral tribunals on complex questions of Swiss financial market and regulatory law. Alongside my client work, I serve as an Authorized Representative of Issuers at SIX Swiss Exchange and Co-Chair of the IBA Banking Regulation Sub-Committee. Chambers, The Legal 500 and IFLR1000 consistently recognize me as one of Switzerland’s leading financial services regulatory practitioners.
