Perucchi & Partner Ag

What Perucchi & Partner Ag does

Perucchi & Partner AG is a boutique Swiss litigation law firm founded in 2012 and headquartered at Seefeldstrasse 15, Zürich. The firm employs approximately 5 professionals and provides specialized legal representation across five core practice areas: Transnational Commercial Litigation and Arbitration, Financial Services Disputes, Contracts/Commercial/Corporate Law, Inheritance/Trusts/Estates, and Bankruptcy Law and Restructuring. Its primary client base consists of predominantly international enterprise clients involved in complex cross-border disputes, including investors and venture capitalists seeking recovery of misappropriated or mismanaged assets.

The firm employs a proprietary 'sigma-alpha litigation strategy' designed to maximize client returns while accounting for potential criminal liability and regulatory considerations. Its litigation expertise is anchored by a team with collective courtroom experience exceeding 70 years and multilingual capabilities spanning German, English, French, Italian, Arabic, and Russian. The firm augments in-house capacity with a global roster of outside specialists in accounting, auditing, taxation, banking, and valuation matters, supporting cross-border mandates in Swiss courts (Zurich Commercial Court, Federal Supreme Court), international arbitration tribunals, and cross-jurisdictional enforcement actions.

The firm operates on a professional services engagement model with quote-based pricing typical of boutique law firms, and revenue is not publicly disclosed. Client acquisition is primarily driven by reputation, case outcomes, and professional network referrals through memberships in organizations including the Swiss Bar Association, Zurich Bar Association, NYSBA, Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce, Camera di Commercio Italiana per la Svizzera, and American Association for Justice. Notable representations include a CHF 50 billion case before the Zurich Commercial Court, the removal of an illegal CHF 100m+ bank account freeze, representation in the largest Swiss bankruptcy case in history, and a landmark Federal Supreme Court ruling on international data protection preventing a Swiss bank from disclosing fiduciary information to the US DOJ.

Broad incumbents

• Pestalozzi Attorneys at Law: Major Swiss full-service law firm with a strong disputes practice.

• Bär & Karrer AG: One of the largest Swiss law firms, with a prominent disputes practice covering financial services, white-collar, and arbitration. Direct competitor for the large-scale mandates Perucchi & Partner targets, with broader resources and offices.

Operates in the same Swiss litigation market with comparable financial services dispute work, making it the closest comparable to Perucchi & Partner's practice mix.
