About Thouvenin Rechtsanwälte

Thouvenin describes itself as a partner-led Swiss law firm with decades of experience, operating from offices in Zurich (Klausstrasse 33) and Zug (Bahnhofplatz). According to the firm, it is built on a lean organisation and a flat hierarchy, with partners directly managing mandates rather than delegating them down long chains. Its work is organised into practice groups within an integrated structure, and it follows a multi-specialisation model in which attorneys identify the relevant aspects of a matter across different practice areas.

The firm emphasises international capability: its attorneys have foreign study and work experience, and it maintains an international network to support cross-border matters. Thouvenin’s standing is reflected in its recognition in leading directories such as Chambers and Partners and The Legal 500.

Dispute resolution in Switzerland

Recognition as Dispute Resolution Law Expert of the Year in Switzerland places Dr Daniel Stoll in one of the most respected environments in the world for commercial dispute resolution. Switzerland is a leading venue for international arbitration — Zurich and Geneva are among the most frequently chosen arbitral seats globally — and Swiss courts are known for their reliability, neutrality and predictability. The country’s stable legal system, its neutrality, and the strength of its arbitration institutions make it a preferred forum for parties from around the world.

Dispute resolution practice in Switzerland typically spans commercial litigation before the cantonal and federal courts, domestic and international arbitration, mediation, and the enforcement of judgments and awards. Practitioners advise on contractual and corporate disputes, post-M&A and shareholder conflicts, banking and financial disputes, and cross-border matters where questions of jurisdiction, applicable law and enforcement come to the fore. Success depends on strategic judgment, procedural precision and the ability to present complex facts persuasively before tribunals and courts.

A partner-led, cross-border approach

Thouvenin’s partner-led model is well suited to dispute resolution, where continuity of senior attention and hands-on involvement can make a material difference to the conduct and outcome of a case. Clients benefit from working directly with an experienced partner who manages the matter personally, supported by the firm’s integrated, multi-specialist teams when a dispute touches on corporate, contractual or regulatory questions.

The firm’s international orientation is equally important. Many disputes with a Swiss dimension involve foreign parties, foreign-language documents and cross-border enforcement, and the combination of Swiss procedural expertise with an international network allows such matters to be handled cohesively. Whether a dispute is resolved through negotiation, arbitration or the courts, the objective is the same: to protect the client’s position efficiently and effectively.

It is against this background that Dr Daniel Stoll’s Corporate INTL Global Awards 2026 recognition as Dispute Resolution Law Expert of the Year in Switzerland should be read: an endorsement of high-calibre, partner-led dispute resolution expertise delivered from a respected Zurich and Zug firm. Businesses and individuals facing disputes with a Swiss connection will find in Dr Stoll and Thouvenin Rechtsanwälte a practice whose experience, international reach and hands-on approach are well matched to the demands of contentious work.

For businesses and individuals with a dispute connected to Switzerland, the value of the recognition lies in the confidence it lends when choosing counsel for high-stakes contentious work. Whether a matter is destined for the Swiss courts or for arbitration under one of the institutions for which the country is renowned, the choice of adviser can shape both the conduct and the outcome of the case. Independent recognition of an individual expert helps clients identify practitioners whose judgment and experience are trusted, and Dr Daniel Stoll’s award reflects that standing within Switzerland’s dispute resolution community.
