At MLL Legal, we are committed to fostering the development of our talented associates, and the dedication and expertise of Andrea, Lisa and Léa have truly stood out.

Andrea delivers impactful results for our clients, and we look forward to celebrating many more successes together.”

Lisa Hans-Margot is an associate in our Private Clients department in Geneva. She assists and represents our clients in family and inheritance law disputes, often with a strong international component. She also advises them on matrimonial and estate planning.

Maud Udry-Alhanko, Partner and Coach in the Private Client team, states:

“Lisa is an outstanding, talented, rigorous and dedicated lawyer with a strong sense of ethics. She is highly respected and appreciated by her colleagues, peers and clients, whom she accompanies with empathy and commitment, often through complicated phases in their lives.

Among the youngest members elected to the Exam Commission of Notaries in Geneva, Lisa also enjoys sharing her passion for our legal profession by speaking at prestigious conferences and engaging with younger students through the ‘Lawyers in Schools’ program organized by the Geneva Bar Association.

We congratulate her on this well-deserved promotion to Senior Associate and wish her all the best for her promising career!”

Léa Stucki is part of our real estate team in Geneva, where she assists, advises and represents clients and companies in matters relating mainly to construction law.

Philippe Prost, Partner and Co-Head Real Estate & Construction, says:

“Since she joined MLL, Léa has been a valued member of our Real Estate and Construction team, not only for her professional skills but also for her bright and joyful personality.

Léa always embraces new challenges with enthusiasm and is dedicated to delivering excellent work. She is highly regarded by our clients and her colleagues across the firm. We look forward to supporting Léa in her personal development and to celebrating many more milestones together.”
