The practice is jointly led by the ’masterful’ David Casserly, who frequently handles matters pertaining to significant commercial deals, and Nicolas Zbinden, who is a very experienced practitioner on the anti-doping side of the sports sector and is praised for his ‘unwavering judgement and integrity’. Jean-Pierre Morand is particularly well-versed in regulatory and commercial disputes as well as sport commercial contracts, and other key practitioners in the group include Andrea Fioravanti, Philippe Frésard, Massimiliano Maestretti, Stefano Perucchi, Jean-Philippe Rochat and Adam Taylor.
