Luxury watchmaker Rolex has appointed its first-ever General Counsel, hiring litigation partner Alexander Troller from the Swiss law firm LALIVE. The move underscores Rolex's recognition of the growing complexities of legal and regulatory challenges in the luxury sector, including trademark disputes, distribution agreements, and compliance issues. 

Troller’s extensive experience in international arbitration is expected to strengthen Rolex’s in-house legal capabilities and provide strategic legal oversight as the brand navigates a competitive and highly scrutinized industry.
