About VISCHER We effectively support our clients in a solution oriented manner in legal, tax and regulatory matters. Our lawyers, tax experts and notaries are organized in the specialist practice teams listed below, each led by an experienced partner. This enables us to individually tailor our services to meet the requirements of the individual project in the most effective manner. Our offices are located in Zurich and Basel, the two largest business centers of Switzerland. Independence is a key factor for the optimal protection of client interests. We therefore put great value on a very high conflict of interest standard that is no longer obvious in the international legal industry. In order to also remain independent in transborder transactions, we have built up our own global network of foreign law firms enabling us to select our foreign attorneys based exclusively on the requirements of the individual mandates and without having to take into consideration the instructions of a law firm group or a network organization. - Antitrust and Competition - Aviation - Banking and Finance - Civil Law Notaries - Compliance Support - Corporate and Commercial - Employment Law - Energy - Health Care - Immigration - Information and Communication Technology - Intellectual Property - Life Sciences, Pharma, Biotech - Listed Companies - Litigation, Arbitration - Media and Entertainment - Mergers & Acquisitions - Pension Funds - Private Clients - Private Equity, Venture Capital, Corporate Finance - Public Sector and Regulatory - Real Estate - Restructuring and Insolvency - Tax - White Collar Crime Zürich Vischer AG Schützengasse 1 8021 Zürich Switzerland Tel +41 58 211 34 00 Fax +41 58 211 34 10 Basel Vischer AG Aeschenvorstadt 4 4010 Basel Switzerland Tel +41 58 211 33 00 Fax +41 58 211 33 10 5/5
