Stream takes a new step in its international development in 2026 with the opening of an office in Geneva. This strategic move 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 sectors of commodities, energy and agricultural products. It is also a hub for financial services, logistics, and activities linked to international trade. Proximity to financial institutions, brokers and insurers is, moreover, a major asset for implementing legal solutions tailored to these highly specialised activities.
International sector expertise
For over 20 years, the dedicated Stream team has been supporting international traders across all legal aspects of commodities trading. This team comprises around ten Lawyers 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
The opening of this new office is part of the firm’s 2026 vision and longer-term strategy, built on three pillars: proximity to strategic hubs in its areas of activity, innovation in legal solutions to anticipate regulatory developments, and international excellence by consolidating multidisciplinary teams capable of operating in complex markets.
Our goal: to offer our clients increasingly agile support tailored to global challenges, particularly in commodities trading, energy, transport and logistics, and international risk insurance.
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.”
