He primarily assists individuals and financial institutions in complex domestic and transnational litigation. He regularly acts in cases involving financial mismanagement, whether of a civil or criminal nature. His practice also includes assets tracing and freezing orders in Switzerland and abroad.

Alexandre de Senarclens has developed an important network of partner law firms across the world, which enables him to ensure the coordination and continuous monitoring of cases with an international element.

He helps these clients to organise their affairs, to obtain necessary authorisations and to draft contracts specific to their activities. This requires an in-depth analysis of their activities to help clients to choose the most appropriate internal organisation that will allow them to respond efficiently to their various legal and regulatory requirements.

Finally, Alexandre de Senarclens is active in the field of Corporate law (contracts, partner relationships, liabilities of directors and auditors) and acts as board member for several Swiss companies.
