Schmid Heinzen Humbert Lerch will join fifteen leading employment law firms throughout Europe, North America and the Asia-Pacific region that have formed L&E Global to provide attentive, efficient, and cost-effective legal counsel to clients operating in what has increasingly become a multi-jurisdictional legal arena.

Stephan Swinkels, Executive Director of L&E Global, said that, “with SHHL on board we are honoring our commitment to offer clients advice from the very best employment law boutiques throughout the world. SHHL is a perfect example of a boutique firm that is quickly establishing itself as a go-to player in Switzerland. The team is extremely talented and has extensive experience in all workplace law matters. SHHL will compliment the alliance and its clients in the way L&E Global combines specialised national labor and employment law advice seemlessly across border.”
André Lerch, partner at SHHL, said that, “as a young and ambitious firm, we are very excited about the prospect of joining L&E Global in order to expand our reach in the international market and contribute to the increasingly important work of cross-border legal counsel. Considering how important the Swiss market is to the global economy, we anticipate a very active and integral role in the alliance on behalf of our international clients.”
With the addition of a Swiss based law firm into the alliance, L&E Global has solidified its presence in some of the most important economic regions in the world.
