Lalive

Lalive is a Swiss law firm specialising in international arbitration and complex commercial litigation. Its address in the data is Rue de la Mairie 35 in Geneva, and its client base is described as international disputes with a Swiss connection.

Services

The listed practice areas are international arbitration, commercial disputes, investment arbitration and mediation. Arbitration and mediation are the usual route for cross-border payment and fintech conflicts, where parties in different countries prefer a neutral forum to national courts, while commercial litigation covers cases that are heard before state courts.

Markets

The firm names Switzerland as its home jurisdiction and international disputes as its wider field. A separate tag points to the United Kingdom as a related market. Cases are therefore not confined to one country, and the applicable law and seat of arbitration are defined by the contract in each matter.

Who it suits

Lalive suits payment companies, banks, investors and counterparties that need counsel in high-value contract disputes or investment claims. Fee structures are not published and should be agreed with the firm.
