ESG in Switzerland: Schellenberg Wittmer Q&A

In the last two years, how has the ESG practice group grown at the firm?

Anya George: One notable characteristic of our group now is that it is truly multidisciplinary. We possess expertise in both transactional matters and disputes. In recent years, we have placed increased emphasis on financial market regulation, greenwashing, and carbon credits—areas where many of our competitors lack expertise. In Switzerland, there has been a noticeable rise in requests for advice on ESG matters across the board, although understanding due diligence and reporting requirements remains a primary concern for our clients.
