Deloitte Legal recognised as Knowledgeable Representative of Issuers for all product categories

We are thrilled to announce that SIX Exchange Regulation officially recognised Deloitte Legal Switzerland as Knowledgeable Representative of Issuers. With the capital market legal expertise of our two competent legal specialists Dr. Roger Fankhauser, Partner, and Christian Bonhôte, Director, we managed to extend Deloitte’s previous recognition in the area of “Auditors” to the additional area of “Lawyers”. The recognition covers all product categories: shares, bonds, collective investment schemes, derivatives and exchange traded products.

This recognition marks a significant milestone for Deloitte Legal.
 

What This Recognition Means


SIX Exchange Regulation regulates and monitors participants and issuers on SIX Swiss Exchange, one of the leading stock exchanges in Europe. Listing applications must be submitted by a recognised knowledgeable representative of the issuer. Being recognised by SIX Exchange Regulation as knowledgeable representative of issuers underscores Deloitte Legal's expertise in capital market laws and regulations and commitment to excellence.

This recognition is a testament to our team's dedication to providing top-tier legal services and our ability to navigate complex legal frameworks with precision and insight. It also highlights our capability to support issuers in meeting their compliance obligations and achieving their strategic objectives.
