Urs Weber-Stecher is an independent Swiss arbitrator and mediator with over 25 years of experience in dispute resolution. He has acted as party representative and arbitrator in numerous international and national arbitrations in various industries and as mediator in commercial disputes.\r\n
\r\n
Before starting his own practice, he was partner and head of the arbitration team in a commercial law firm in Zurich for 20 years. For 15 years, he acted as external legal counsel to a global medical foundation and negotiated countless R&D, trademark and patent licensing agreements. Until a few years ago, antitrust law was another area in which Urs Weber-Stecher regularly advised companies and represented them before the authorities. Before joining a law firm, Urs Weber-Stecher worked for several years at the Federal Office for Foreign Economic Affairs (now part of SECO) and was a member of Switzerland's diplomatic team for negotiations on a multilateral agreement on investment under the OECD and a member of the negotiating team for bilateral investment treaties.
