Eversheds has launched in Switzerland after forming an association with local outfit Schmid in a move that adds further scale to the UK giant’s expanding foreign network.

The association, which saw the Swiss practice rebranded as Schmid Eversheds on 1 January, 2008, will give Eversheds a base in Zurich and Berne, adding to the UK law firm’s network of 36 offices spanning 21 countries.
