Thomas Miller Law is delighted to announce the launch of its Swiss office, based in Geneva.
The expansion into Switzerland is a natural progression for TM Law, building on its core shipping, international trade and commercial team in the UK.
We welcome on board two lawyers who bring with them a wealth of varied experience, and add a new dimension to what the firm can offer the shipping, trading, commodity and insurance sectors.

He has vast experience in marine insurance, reinsurance and general shipping, and has specialised further in oil and commodity trading, fraud and asset tracing. He has represented international commercial clients in several high-profile matters, including recovering for the insurers of Brinks Mat following the infamous Heathrow robbery, and secondment to a major Kuwaiti oil and tanker company following the Iraqi invasion in 1990. A non-executive Director of various major trading companies, Bob has been based in Geneva since 2008.
