A milestone in Stream’s international development in 2026, the opening of a Geneva office aims to provide enhanced support to commodities traders at the heart of a globally recognised ecosystem.
A strategic position at the centre of international trading
Geneva is home to numerous companies specialising in trading, particularly in the energy, metals/minerals and agri-commodities sectors. It is also a hub for financial services, logistics, and activities related to international trade. Proximity to financial institutions, brokers and insurers is, moreover, a significant advantage for engineering legal solutions tailored to these highly specialised activities.
International sector expertise
For more than 20 years, Stream’s dedicated team has been supporting international traders across all legal aspects of commodities trading. The team is made up of around ten avocats and solicitors based in Geneva, Paris and London, practising both French and English law to meet the needs of players operating in international environments.
2026: strengthening proximity and innovation
This opening is part of the firm’s 2026 vision and longer-term strategy, built around three pillars: proximity to strategic hubs in its key expertise, innovation in legal solutions to anticipate regulatory developments, and international excellence by consolidating multidisciplinary teams capable of operating in complex markets.
Our ambition: to offer our clients increasingly agile support tailored to global challenges, particularly in commodities trading, energy, transport and logistics, and international risk insurance in Switzerland.
Alexandre Besnard states: “The opening of our Geneva office reflects our commitment to being as close as possible to the global players in international trade based in Switzerland. This presence will enable us to strengthen our support and deliver legal solutions even more closely aligned with our clients’ strategic challenges.”
