Areas of law

Tax law

International tax planning and tax disputes for private clients with ties to several countries.

• Swiss tax

Tax is the core of our practice. We advise on international tax planning, cross-border structuring and private wealth organization, and we represent clients in disputes before Swiss and French tax authorities.

We practise Swiss and French tax law, as members of the Geneva and Paris Bar Associations. We also have in-depth knowledge of how US and Brazilian tax rules affect clients who live in Switzerland or France.

Corporate law

Company formation, holding structures and governance for entrepreneurs and investors.

• Swiss SA / AG
• Holding structures
• Governance
• Cross-border set-up

We assist entrepreneurs and investors with company formation and governance, from Swiss SA/AG structures to international holding arrangements.

Every structure is designed with its tax consequences in mind, so that the corporate set-up and the tax position support each other.

Immigration law

Residence permits, work authorizations and lump-sum taxation for those relocating to Switzerland.

• Residence permits
• Lump-sum taxation
• Work permits
• Relocation

We advise high-net-worth individuals, entrepreneurs and professionals on Swiss residence permits and work authorizations.

Where relevant, we prepare and negotiate lump-sum taxation with the cantonal authorities, streamlining the path to a tax-efficient relocation.

Real estate acquisition

Securing the purchase of a home or investment property in Switzerland and France, from eligibility to closing.

• Lex Koller

• Notarial deed
• Holding & financing

Buying property across borders combines real estate, tax and, in Switzerland, specific rules on acquisitions by persons abroad.

We secure the acquisition from the eligibility analysis to the signing of the deed, and structure ownership and financing in line with your overall tax position.
