Daniel Fischer (lawyer)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Daniel Fischer (born May 22, 1953 in Bern ; † June 20, 2015 in Zurich ) was a Swiss lawyer and professor for international business law at the SRH University in Berlin .

He became known throughout Switzerland as the representative of so-called Lehman victims who, on the advice of Swiss banks , had invested in Lehman Brothers securities . Among other things, he represented around 350 to 500 members of the investor self-help group and 50 other Lehman victims of the approximately 7,000 so-called Lehman victims in Switzerland. In previous years he acted against hidden retrocessions in the interests of investors . Since 2012 he has been taking action against Swiss banks, which do not reimburse the retrocessions owed.

In addition, he represented a large number of aggrieved investors in matters including Madoff as a member of an international law alliance, UBS Wealth Management Global Property Fund, K1, Auriga Ltd. etc. Most recently he represented the Swatch Group against UBS AG and the INFINA victims against the St. Galler Kantonalbank.

In the area of white- collar crime , in addition to corporate governance, he primarily dealt with crime due diligence. He investigated numerous economic frauds and demonstrated that certain behavioral patterns (modules) always occur in all economic crimes and that crime is thus more easily recognizable. As part of a strategy to create suspicion for economic crimes , he introduced the term “Econ Crime” in this context, which, in addition to White Collar Crime, describes a know-how crime.

In connection with the financial crisis, he developed a form of dispute settlement, the "Swiss Banking Medarp" system, a combination of mediation and arbitration . The aim is for the Swiss banks to regain confidence. In addition, he often appeared publicly for investment protection, in particular he advocated the introduction of class actions and the criminal liability of certain forms of investment advice by banks. This development should ultimately also serve the investor.

He was an expert at the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law UNCITRAL . He also held the title of Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) and was a board member and training director of the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners of the Central & Northern European Chapter and Switzerland.

In addition to his legal activities, he was co-editor of the Musical - the online magazine "imScheinwerfer" and moderated contributions to musicals on Radio Top . Most recently he wrote a series on the history of Swiss musicals.
