Reymond & Associés

What Reymond & Associés does

Reymond & Associés is a privately-held Swiss law partnership founded in 2008 and headquartered in Lausanne, operating across civil and public law with a roster of approximately 12 lawyers (6 partners, 4 associates, and a trainee). The firm delivers specialized counsel across twelve practice areas including energy and environmental law, sports and CAS arbitration, business transactions and corporate law, start-up advisory, data protection (GDPR/CIPP-E), IP and trademarks, family law, labour law, criminal law, immigration, and construction/real estate law. Its core differentiator is a high-credential partner bench with multiple SBA specialist certifications, advanced LL.M. degrees, and a partner teaching role at EPFL, which supports deep institutional ties to the Lausanne innovation and academic ecosystem.

The firm earns revenue primarily through traditional professional-services billing (hourly fees for complex mandates) supplemented by flat-fee packages for startups and scale-ups on routine corporate documents. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: client acquisition relies on professional referrals, EPFL and bar-association networks (OAV, FSA, ASPDO), active participation in industry conferences (WEKA, Suisse Eole, Romandie Formation), and a weekly newsletter. Distribution is exclusively direct, with all services delivered through partner-led engagements and no intermediaries. The firm has been recognized among the top 20 Swiss law firms in energy and environmental law by Bilanz/Le Temps in 2019 and 2020 and serves a diversified client base spanning startups (ecoRobotix, Neural Concept), international sports federations, cantons and municipalities, and private individuals across Western Switzerland.
