Ruggle Partner

Attorney at Law and Mediators

Our Approach

We act exclusively in areas where we have proven expertise, guided by principles of fairness and transparency. Whether in legal advice, mediation, or court representation, we aim for sustainable agreements, robust contracts, and restored professional relationships.

Swiss Advantage

Operating from Switzerland provides our clients strategic advantages: political stability, sophisticated legal framework, favorable treaty network, and established tradition in international dispute resolution. We leverage Switzerland's position as a neutral jurisdiction for complex cross-border transactions and disputes.

Leadership

Peter Ruggle (Founding Partner): Corporate law, M&A, banking & finance
Matt Mortazavi (Partner): Construction law with dual attorney-engineer qualification
Over 35 years of combined experience in corporate law, banking & finance, and construction law and engineering.

Areas of Expertise

Cross-border M&A transactions, corporate restructuring, joint ventures, and commercial litigation. We structure deals from initial due diligence through closing, with particular strength in Swiss-EU regulatory frameworks.

Unique combination of legal expertise and engineering credentials. Our construction practice head holds dual qualifications as attorney and professional construction engineer, enabling technical-legal analysis of complex infrastructure projects, EPC contracts, and construction disputes, providing capabilities rarely available in a single practice.

Comprehensive contract drafting, negotiation, and enforcement across jurisdictions. From supply chain agreements and IT contracts to licensing deals and international sale transactions, we handle the full spectrum of commercial arrangements.

Legal structuring for financing transactions, regulatory compliance advisory, and financial services disputes. Experience with Swiss banking regulations and international finance documentation.

Legal frameworks for business launches, from entity formation through financing structures. We draft founder agreements, structure commercial arrangements, and manage regulatory compliance for scaling businesses.

Specialized counsel for collectors, galleries, artists, and cultural institutions. Transaction structuring, auction law, and cross-border movement of cultural assets.

Succession planning, trust structures, and estate administration for high-net-worth families, particularly those with international assets and Swiss connections.

Active practitioners in ICC, Swiss Rules, and ad hoc arbitration proceedings. Swiss Arbitration Association members with dual capacity as counsel and arbitrators in complex commercial disputes.
