We advise Swiss and international private clients on all aspects of their taxation, from strategic tax planning and the negotiation of tax rulings to the preparation of tax returns and representation before the courts in tax disputes.
Relocation
We assist private clients in establishing their tax residence in Switzerland and determining their personal tax situation. We assess the anticipated tax exposure across all relevant areas, including income and wealth taxation, the cantonal tax shield, the valuation of shareholdings, the classification of assets as private or commercial assets, lump-sum taxation, and the application of double tax treaties.
Personal Taxation
We prepare complex tax returns and review tax assessments to ensure they accurately reflect our clients’ individual tax position.

We advise our clients on the tax implications of their estate planning, whether implemented through lifetime transfers or upon death, in both Swiss and international contexts.
Taxation of Trusts
We advise our clients on the Swiss tax treatment of trusts and their parties, including settlors, trustees and beneficiaries.
Taxation of Businesses and Shareholders
We advise legal entities on a broad range of tax matters, in particular in connection with the acquisition and sale of businesses, as well as corporate reorganizations, mergers and demergers.
We also advise our clients on the tax implications of acquiring, holding and selling shareholdings, whether held as private or commercial assets.
