Lenz & Staehelin advises Transmutex on its Series A financing round

Geneva based cleantech company Transmutex has completed its CHF 5.3 million Series A. This comes a couple months after its CHF 2.6 million seed financing round that completed in May. These financing rounds will allow Transmutex to continue its R&D activities.

Lenz & Staehelin is acting as legal counsel to Transmutex in all legal aspects of its activities since its foundation. The team is led by partner Benoît Merkt (commercial and contracts) as well as by Sevan Antreasyan (intellectual property, commercial and contracts), Federico Trabaldo Togna and Ralph Kaufmann (both corporate and m&a) and includes Floran Ponce and Didier Nsanzineza (tax), Alix Lauener (corporate and m&a), and Prisca Cattaneo (employment and pensions).

Transmutex is a start-up founded in Geneva in 2019, developing nuclear technology for the transmutation of long-lived nuclear waste based on CERN technologies. Transmutex’s solution uses particle accelerators to transmute existing long-lived nuclear waste, which, in turn, produces carbon-free energy that can be reinjected in the grid or used to produce green hydrogen.
