The Firm
The Firm Budin & Partners (formerly Lalive Budin
& Partners) is one of the largest law firms in Geneva. Established in
1965, the Firm has been able to retain its liberal professional character
while at the same time developing a modern structure based on a teamwork among
partners and associates having skills sets covering the major areas of commercial
practice. Consistent with this policy, client work is assigned to
the most competent lawyer, with regard to experience and expertise commensurate
with the task assigned.
The Firm has also an office in Lausanne since 2006.
From its origin, the Firm has not only been proficient

law from each lawyer. In addition, several lawyers of the Firm are specialized

The Firm's engagements on behalf of clients are based on the essential
