Chapters

Switzerland

The Swiss Chapter of the Women's White Collar Defense Association (WWCDA) was launched in September 2018 by Schellenberg Wittmer lawyers Clara Poglia and Sylvie Bertrand-Curreli.

The Swiss Chapter of the Association provides a forum for talented and experienced white collar defense lawyers to gather, network and discuss significant issues and challenges in relation to the business crime defense field.

Our mission is to provide members regular opportunities to build relationships and broaden their network of professional contacts across Switzerland and internationally through the WWCDA.

The Swiss Chapter looks forward to working closely with its global counterparts across the WWCDA to help bridge relationships between our practices.

CHAPTER MEMBERSHIP CRITERIA

The Swiss Chapter accepts Law Firm Attorney Members and Consultant Affiliate Members as defined:
