Baker McKenzie advises SPGI Zurich on entering into a partnership with Colliers International

Baker McKenzie advised SPGI Zurich AG, a member of Intercity Group, on entering into an exclusive partnership with Colliers International. The partnership with one of the world's largest real estate service providers will come into effect in fall 2024 and represents an important milestone for Intercity Group, further strengthening and expanding its market position.

The partnership with Colliers International and the envisaged name change by SPGI Zurich AG to Colliers Switzerland AG will have no impact on the mandates, services, ownership structure, management and employees.

Colliers Switzerland will continue to be part of the Intercity Group and managed by today's leadership team, and it will benefit from the broadly diversified platform of Colliers International.

Baker McKenzie Switzerland advised on all legal aspects of the transaction.

The team was led by Alexander Wyss (partner, Real Estate) and consisted of Eva-Maria Strobel (partner, Intellectual Property), Philipp Ruchti-Baltensperger and Samuel Turtschi (associate, Real Estate).
