Cross-border matters

We find ourselves more frequently advising clients on international matters, be it on account of assets in another country, a nationality other than Swiss, a last residence or a death abroad. In these cases we frequently work with trusted partner law firms in the relevant countries.

Inheritance Litigation

In our Private Clients team, we combine deep legal expertise with many years of experience and strategic insight in litigation. We assist our clients in out-of-court settlement negotiations and represent them effectively in court proceedings – including forced heirship, partition, and invalidity actions.

Family Governance and Business Succession

We advise entrepreneurial families on structuring their wealth – from setting up and supporting family offices to navigating family governance and planning for business succession. We work closely with our specialists in tax, corporate, and real estate law, to provide integrated and strategic advice.
