About Jascha Daniel

Jascha Daniel Preuss trained on two continents. He holds an LL.M. in International Law from New York University and an LL.B. from a Swiss law faculty. Early academic work included a research and teaching fellowship at Humboldt-University of Berlin in 1992, a period that helped shape his interest in comparative and international legal questions.

He began his practical legal career in Switzerland. A clerkship at the District Court of Zurich followed in 1997, and he spent the next year as a clerk at the Claims Resolution Tribunal for Dormant Accounts in Switzerland. Those early roles exposed him to complex procedural matters and to disputes that crossed national boundaries. He joined Wenger Plattner as an associate in 2000 and later took associate positions at Thelen LLP in 2003 and Mayer Brown LLP in 2006.

In 2009 he returned to Wuersch & Gering LLP as a lawyer. A year later he became a partner at Reiss+Preuss LLP. He rejoined Wuersch & Gering LLP as a partner in 2019. Over two decades he has moved between Swiss and U.S. practices and has handled matters that require understanding of both legal systems.

Preuss is admitted to practice in Switzerland and in New York. He is active in legal organizations on both sides of the Atlantic. He serves as president of the Swiss American Lawyers Association of Greater New York, and he holds membership in the New York City Bar Association. He is also a passivmitglied of the Zurich Bar Association. Those memberships reflect a practice that intersects Swiss and U.S. legal communities and professional networks.

His experience spans litigation support, cross-border regulatory questions, and matters of international law. The combination of a Swiss LL.B. and an NYU LL.M. informs how he approaches client matters that involve differing legal traditions. Colleagues describe him as someone who navigates procedural complexity steadily and who can translate legal concepts between legal systems.

Cases and matters in his career have ranged from domestic Swiss proceedings to disputes and transactions touching New York law. He has handled work at global firms and at smaller, specialized practices, which has given him familiarity with varied firm structures and client types.

He is a partner at Wuersch & Gering LLP. He practices in matters that involve Swiss and New York law and handles cross-border and international legal issues in his current practice focus.
