Private Clients

We assist our clients in structuring their private and business assets, taking into account tax, inheritance and matrimonial aspects. This includes setting up holding companies, foundations, matrimonial agreements or inheritance pacts. We can also help you organize and optimize the transfer of your estate, for example by drawing up wills, estate planning or ensuring that inheritance reserves are respected.

We also assist our clients when they arrive in or leave Switzerland, ensuring complete management of tax and administrative obligations, as well as coordination with foreign advisors.
