Perimeter, licensing and supervision counsel for financial businesses in Switzerland, the EU and the UK.
Financial regulation begins with one question: whether what you plan to do is a regulated activity, and in which jurisdiction. Everything else, the licence, the timeline, the capital, the ongoing duties, follows from that answer, and most expensive regulatory problems trace back to it being answered late or by analogy.
We advise banks, fintechs, payment and e-money businesses, investment firms and the companies that serve them: perimeter analysis, authorisation strategy and applications, cross-border market access including the UK–Swiss corridor under the Berne Financial Services Agreement, and the supervision layer, governance, outsourcing, operational resilience, that follows authorisation for the life of the business.
The regimes differ, but the method is the same: one perimeter map, one authorisation strategy and one compliance architecture, maintained as the rules move.
The path from idea to supervised business, managed as one project.
