History

Conrad Staehelin founded a law office Staehelin in Zürich in 1917. In 1951, Raoul Lenz started a firm in Geneva. In 1991, Lenz & Staehelin merged and continued to operate under that name. Most prominently the firm was involved in the Swissair bankruptcy of 2001, and in 2013 with the Offshore Leaks, when they worked with client Gunter Sachs (1932-2015), who was accused of tax evasion by authorities.[4]
