Tax

Our tax department has significant experience in advising clients in all areas of Swiss direct and indirect taxation, both at cantonal and federal levels.

We assist corporate clients in general tax planning, providing solutions related to mergers and acquisitions, corporate reorganizations and relocations, joint ventures, business sales and financial structuring.

We advise entrepreneurs in the structuring of their holdings and companies on tax efficient remuneration of personnel, including employee incentive schemes. The tax practice is also involved in setting up and advising charitable foundations.

We seek to offer to our corporate clients, to their owners or their key employees simple and efficient solutions.

We also assist private individuals in all the questions relating to their relocation and their global and estate tax planning.

Thanks to the full integration of our firm, our tax planning is well integrated in our clients' overall business and legal strategy.

We are often involved in international transactions and are used to working together with a network of carefully selected foreign correspondents.

Our solutions are carefully studied and, whenever needed, are secured by binding tax rulings issued by the relevant federal and/or cantonal tax authorities with whom we are in frequent contact.

We ensure that we stay ahead of the numerous and constant developments in this area of law and of the administration's practice and are involved in various organizations monitoring and discussing such developments.

See our publications in this field.
