Senior counsel, engaged directly, with a team assembled for each matter.
Isak Legal is the Zurich-based practice of Michael Isak, an international finance, regulatory and technology lawyer and formerly a senior lawyer at Freshfields. Clients, whether a company, a fund, an individual or a family office, engage him directly, and every matter is analysed, drafted and answered for by the same person throughout.
The model has practical consequences. Judgment is not diluted through drafting layers. Commitments are made by the person who has to keep them. Conflicts are checked before every engagement by the lawyer who knows every client. Matters that need what the practice does not have, such as local litigation, notarial acts or home-jurisdiction opinions, are staffed through established local counsel engaged for that matter; Michael remains the client's counsel and coordinates that work.
