Switzerland as a base

Why here

Where a practice is based is a strategic choice. Ours is Switzerland.

Switzerland offers what internationally active companies and founders value most: political and economic stability, a legal system built on predictability and the rule of law, a leading financial centre, and a deep culture of professionalism and discretion. It lies at the heart of Europe, with strong ties to both the EU and UK markets and independence from either.

For clients, that combination makes Switzerland a natural base for cross-border activity: a trusted address, reliable institutions, and access to world-class banking, advisory and technology ecosystems.

One caveat: a Swiss base does not by itself confer access to the EU or UK markets. Market access is a regulatory question that depends on sector and business model, and structuring it is a large part of our work. The aim is a setup that holds up when banks, counterparties and regulators look closely, subject always to individual legal and tax review.
