Wealth Management in Switzerland

Our Wealth Management practice is the largest in Switzerland, advising trust companies, private banks and other financial institutions on a wide range of fiduciary issues.

Our Wealth Management lawyers have extensive experience helping trust companies establish international branches and comply with laws in various jurisdictions. We advise private banks and other financial institutions on developing financial products, and provide training programs in various areas, including marketing financial products and international tax issues.

We also provide tax and trust related advice for families of private banking clients, helping them devise strategies to minimize taxes on net wealth, income and inheritance in multiple countries.

While we do not provide fiduciary or fund management services due to potential conflicts in interest, we focus on providing legal and tax advice on all aspects of wealth management.
