Biography

Roland Truffer chiefly advises in the fields of financial services and securities regulation. He also assists clients with capital market transactions, and on all matters of corporate law and governance.
Roland advises insurers, banks, securities firms and financial market infrastructures on all aspects of their regulatory duties. He supports companies listed on a Swiss stock exchange as to their compliance with securities laws and listing rules, and shareholders as to disclosure obligations. He represents his clients in all types of licensing, admission, enforcement and sanction proceedings.

Roland's capital market practice focuses on hybrid instruments (including those qualifying as regulatory capital of insurers and banks). He regularly assists with reorganizations of regulated banking and insurance groups.

Further areas of expertise include the special insolvency regimes applying to financial service providers (including recovery & resolution planning), regulatory obligations of parties to derivative transactions, the regulation of financial market infrastructures (FMIs), and corporate governance. Roland also has broad experience advising on general company and commercial law matters.
