Fontanet & Associés was founded in Geneva in 1985 and is particularly active in business and administrative law. The diverse skills of its strong team has created a diverse network of expertise available to a client base of companies, public authorities or private clients in both Switzerland and abroad.

The practice has managed to conserve the humanistic approach of its founder, the lawyer and former member of the Council of State, Guy Fontanet, by placing respect at the centre of its client relations. The active involvement of a number of Fontanet & Associés staff members in political, academic and judicial life (one professor at the University of Geneva and two substitute judges) is a reflection of its open-mindedness, and the strength and importance of its professional team.

By using its strengths, cross-skills and wide knowledge of Geneva life, Fontanet & Associés is able to guide foreign companies through the process of relocation in Switzerland or manage international projects from its Swiss base.
