Dr. Jürg Gassmann is an independent practitioner based in Switzerland. Since 2002, he has been acting as ‘outside in-house counsel’ for developers and investors where the business volume does not justify a senior lawyer on staff. He specialises in electricity generation (both renewable and traditional), resource valorisation, water/wastewater and similar infrastructure projects as well as advising venture capital investors. Before establishing his own practice, he was Of Counsel with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer in London; in an in-house legal role with Black & Veatch in Hong Kong and Kansas City; with a Swiss venture capital investor in Zurich; and with The Sumitomo Trust & Banking in Tokyo. Jürg took his licentiatus iuris at the University of Zurich in 1986 as well as his doctorate in law in 1989, following a research fellowship at the University of Tokyo. He is qualified as a Swiss Rechtsanwalt and as an English solicitor (not practicing), and speaks German, English, French, Italian, Japanese, and some Urdu. He was an infantry officer in the Swiss Army and spends his leisure time with his family, historical fencing and researching history.
