Biography

I am a partner at Barandun, advising financial institutions, asset managers, fintech companies and corporates on financial regulation, compliance, investigations and white-collar crime. My practice focuses on complex situations where regulatory scrutiny, criminal exposure and reputational risk intersect. I represent clients in licensing, supervisory and enforcement proceedings before FINMA and advise on internal, regulatory and criminal investigations involving Swiss and foreign authorities. I also serve as an Investigator under the Swiss Banks' Code of Due Diligence (CDB) for the Swiss Bankers Association. I have particular experience in anti-money laundering, sanctions, corruption, whistleblowing and financial crime, as well as in the regulation of fintech, digital assets and other innovative financial services. My work combines regulatory advice with investigations and business crime defence, allowing me to support clients from the identification of a regulatory or compliance issue through investigation, engagement with authorities and resolution. I am recognised by IFLR1000, The Legal 500, Lexology and Global Investigations Review (GIR) for my work in financial regulation, investigations and business crime defence. Barandun is a dynamic Swiss full-service law firm with offices in Zurich and Zug. Our multidisciplinary team of lawyers, tax experts and notaries advises Swiss and international clients across all areas of business law, combining specialist expertise with a pragmatic and entrepreneurial approach.
