Switzerland also boasts a skilled, multilingual and motivated workforce, and it is known for its first-class infrastructures and excellent banking facilities, making the country a very attractive place to host wealth-planning structures for families worldwide.
Our Swiss office provides a wide variety of services associated with owning, managing and preserving business and wealth, including family governance advisory, strategic estate and tax planning, fiduciary and trust services, philanthropy and relocation.
