About valfor:

On July 1, 2024, the leading Swiss business law firms BianchiSchwald, GHR Rechtsanwälte and PYTHON merged to form valfor. The merger created one of the most competitive national full-service business law firms with more than 70 lawyers in six offices in Switzerland and an office in Brussels. In an increasingly complex economic and legal environment, valfor positions itself as a one-stop shop for comprehensive advice on national and international business law. Under the maxim "value beyond legal advice", the new firm stands for continuous and unyielding commitment to excellence and the shared aspiration to always offer its clients real added value.
