Legal structuring for financing transactions, regulatory compliance advisory, and financial services disputes. Experience with Swiss banking regulations and international finance documentation.

Legal frameworks for business launches, from entity formation through financing structures. We draft founder agreements, structure commercial arrangements, and manage regulatory compliance for scaling businesses.

Specialized counsel for collectors, galleries, artists, and cultural institutions. Transaction structuring, auction law, and cross-border movement of cultural assets.

Succession planning, trust structures, and estate administration for high-net-worth families, particularly those with international assets and Swiss connections.

Active practitioners in ICC, Swiss Rules, and ad hoc arbitration proceedings. Swiss Arbitration Association members with dual capacity as counsel and arbitrators in complex commercial disputes.
