GTLaw ® is an exclusive law firm based in Switzerland specialising in finance law, with a particular emphasis on commodity finance and capital markets. Gilles Thieffry, the founder of GTLaw®, has over 25 year’s experience, primarily in the City of London where he was a partner in two leading international firms (see Profile). Gilles can properly be regarded as one of Europe’s leading specialists in commodity finance, structured finance and derivatives.
As a small, highly focused, practice without the infrastructure and overheads of a major law firm GTLaw ® is able to offer a value added service at highly cost-effective rates. The firm’s philosophy is based on personal service. Clients instructing GTLaw ® will not find that their matter is dealt with by someone they have never met. Nor will they pay for teams of assistants and trainee lawyers. Indeed GTLaw ® is very happy to work alongside a client’s regular, mainstream, legal and/or accounting advisors.
Who should instruct GTLaw ®?
Any organisation or individual requiring specialist advice on a complex financing transaction from a recognised specialist who will provide a dedicated personal service, combining extensive experience with a multi-cultural approach, at a reasonable cost. For example, if the following applies to you, then you should probably speak to GTLaw ®:
- I need specialist but practical advice from a senior, experienced practitioner
- Value added is more important to me than “brand” recognition
- I want an advisor who will wish to develop a long-term professional relationship based on mutual trust
- I don’t want a lawyer who will endlessly argue about trivial drafting points
- I want a lawyer who will build good working relationships with other lawyers involved in the transaction
On the other hand, GTLaw ® may not be the firm for you if the following applies to you:
- I need to field a team of lawyers in several jurisdictions
- I am happy for the work to be delegated to junior lawyers
- I need, for internal constitutional reasons, to be seen to employ an internationally recognised law firm
