We advise domestic and foreign financial services firms, investors and other companies on all legal and regulatory issues relating to financial services and products in Switzerland. Profound knowledge and extensive professional experience in-house and as external legal advisors to asset managers, investment advisers, banking institutions and securities dealers enable us to deliver innovative, high value-added solutions.

Providing professional advice on the establishment, organization and administration (corporate housekeeping) of all corporate structures that are relevant in Switzerland is part of our daily business, along with the adequate structuring of the shareholders’ and/or owners’ participations. We navigate our clients through all areas of business contracts as well as selected transactions – both domestic and cross-border – in order to elaborate sustainable, economically viable solutions and, should need arise, by taking the appropriate legal action or defending your legal interests.

Entrepreneurs and private clients appreciate our holistic approach to issues of succession planning and inheritance law in general. We are prepared to act as executors of your last will as well as your representatives before Swiss courts or arbitral tribunals in connection with contested wills, inheritance agreements and estate administration.

Intellectual property rights (in particular copyright, patent, trademark, domain and design), together with the legal framework pertaining to competition, marketing and media, have become paramount in transforming ideas and inventions into successful business. Therefore, we assist our clients on a regular basis in selected areas in this context and represent them in any disputes that may arise.

We are prepared to protect our clients’ legal interests vigorously and independently in selected civil procedures before Swiss state courts and arbitral tribunals. The unique combination of our well-founded expertise and knowledge of the legal, procedural and economic principles to be observed is our key success factor in litigation and arbitration.

As long as corresponding mandates are in line with our business principles and professional/ethical standards, we are delighted to act as board members of Swiss corporations and foundations and offer domiciliary services.
