Flavio Peter, Arie Eernisse

 

Swiss-Korean firm Peter & Kim, which specialises in international arbitration, has broadened its presence in Europe with a new office in Zurich. The office is its second in Europe, to go with its headquarters in Geneva.

Partner Flavio Peter will relocate from Geneva to helm the Zurich office. Peter is a Swiss national specialising in international and domestic arbitration and related litigation proceedings. His Zurich team also includes senior associate Rodica Turtoi and associate Clio Mordivoglia.

The boutique has also added international arbitration specialist Arie Eernisse to its Seoul office.

He specialises in disputes related to construction and engineering, insurance, and intellectual property.
