Listed Companies

A team of specialists at Bär & Karrer advises listed companies and their shareholders on corporate and securities law as well as corporate governance.

Our expertise covers all legal issues that interest listed companies. We have a thorough understanding of these issues based on our longstanding position as trusted advisor to the country's leading companies.

The scope of our work includes:

  • Organization of shareholders' meetings
  • Corporate governance issues
  • Securities law and stock exchange regulations, such as ad hoc publicity and the disclosure of management transactions
  • Advice in crisis situations, including proxy fights or change of control transactions
  • Defense strategies
  • Advice on the mandatory disclosure of shareholdings and representation in cases of suspected violation
  • Compliance programs
  • Regulatory investigations and proceedings before the SIX Swiss Exchange and the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority FINMA
