Commercial and contract law is one of the strongholds of our practice. We have a wide range of experience in all related matters, such as setting up and structuring business operations in Switzerland, and provide advice on the full range of commercial activities that such operations entail. We advise domestic and international companies and individuals on all aspects of contract law and support them with the drafting, reviewing and negotiating of complex contracts, including sales contracts, manufacturing contracts, contracts for the supply of work and materials, distribution agreements, agency agreements, license agreements, consortium agreements as well as service agreements.

valfor has also acquired vast and unique know-how in domestic and international public procurement projects, including aspects of procedural and public sector law, the negotiation of supply agreements, related maintenance agreements, leasing structures (set up and implementation) and financing agreements. We further advise our clients on transfer restrictions and customs requirements, obtaining permits for the import, export, commercial transit and brokerage of dual use goods.
