Based out of St. Gallen and Zurich, Stach Rechtsanwälte is a commercial law firm that advises and represents national and international clients with first-class services and timely solutions.

Senior Partner, Michael Kummer, answers our Spotlight questions.

In your opinion, what is the future of your profession?
Digitization is also becoming increasingly important in the law industry and makes many things easier. Nevertheless, it will also be important in the future to maintain personal contact between client and lawyer as well as to respond to the individual needs of the client and the special features of the individual case.

What is your growth strategy?
We intend to differentiate ourselves from our competitors, particularly through service and quality and to focus on our core areas of commercial law.

Where do you see your firm 5 years from now?
We are pursuing the goal of having a team of flexible and technically well-trained employees who focus on the interests of the client, as we do today.

What is your biggest challenge?
It is proving to be increasingly difficult for us to find well-trained employees, especially trainee lawyers, who meet our requirements.

What percentage of your work is international?
About 20%.

What business advisory services do you offer?
The centre of our focus lays on the individual needs and goals of our clients, as we strive for a long-term partnership. Our team of highly qualified and experienced lawyers ensures comprehensive individualized attention, from the advice in various legal matters to representation before courts and authorities. Our focus is on commercial law.

What was your main driver for being part of BOKS International?
We appreciate the international network of service companies that BOKS International offers.

Where do you see BOKS International 5 years from now?
We would be happy if BOKS could expand its network and there would be a lively exchange between the service providers, which would also lead to new mandates.

How would you describe your typical client?
As a law firm, we advise and represent national and international clients who move in a demanding and constantly changing environment. Therefore, our clients expect high-quality services and timely solutions.

Do you specialise in a particular sector or service?
Our general focus is on commercial law. This includes labour law, compliance, corporate governance, disruptive technologies & fintech, corporate law, commercial law, IP law, capital markets law, M&A, debt enforcement and bankruptcy law and contract law.

As a notary’s office, we also perform public certifications for our clients for various legal transactions and notarise signatures, data and documents both in national and international contexts.
