History


Founded in 1911 by Dr. Josef Henggeler, our firm is the longest established of all of Switzerland’s major law firms. It subsequently grew and flourished under the management of Dr. Anton Pestalozzi and Dr. Paul Gmür, providing top-flight legal advice and services to a wide range of national and international clients.

In 1992, we extended our geographical reach and opened offices in Geneva.

Since 2008 the firm has operated under the name Pestalozzi Attorneys at Law Ltd.

Our professionals

We pride ourselves on our team of eminently qualified professionals, both women and men, that enables us to handle a vast spectrum of Swiss legal issues.

We consider diversity to be an important factor in our success and were delighted to take the title of “Best law firm in Switzerland” for the third time at the European Women in Business Law Awards held in London on June 17, 2016.
