Igor Schnyder, Attorney at Law
After graduating from law school, Igor Schnyder obtained his attorney’s licence and opened his own law firm in 2005. In 2008, he started focusing on medical devices and therapeutic products while assisting his clients with their acquisitions, wholesale contracts for the manufacture and distribution of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, and in matters of corporate compliance. He prepared the file on the training and recognition of out-patient medical institutions (licences to practice). As a result, he is especially knowledgeable about licence requirements (for health care personnel and institutions, and therapeutic product regulations) both as a legal representative in regulatory proceedings and directly, as an applicant. Moreover, Igor Schnyder assists manufacturers of medical devices and pharmaceuticals with the outsourcing of their business processes in the framework of clinical trials.
After opening his law firm, Igor Schnyder first operated mainly in the IT and telecommunications field, handled several market access and pricing procedures, and ran the Legal and Regulatory Department of Tele2Schweiz. He was later appointed to the Executive Committee, and to the Board of Directors of Tele2 Schweiz. After the sale of the branch of Schweiz Tele 2, in which he participated and played a decisive role, Igor Schnyder decided to dedicate himself exclusively to his law firm and to combine his knowledge in the IT and digital technologies field with his expertise in the pharma and therapeutic products sector.
Since 2008, Igor Schnyder has also represented major international corporations in the pharmaceuticals and therapeutic products area. He sits on the boards of several companies active in the provision of medical services and foodstuffs industries.
