Deal: Wenger Vieli advised Frutiger on its participation in Blumer Lehmann

Wenger Vieli advised Frutiger, one of Switzerland’s largest construction and real estate service providers with around 2,500 employees, on all Swiss legal matters. Frutiger acquired a 30% participation in Blumer Lehmann, a leading timber construction and timber industry company with more than 600 employees.
