History
Organization
All of our legal practitioners and tax advisors are members of at least one of our practice groups.
Thanks to this concentration of specialist knowledge, we are able to support our clients efficiently and professionally in all specialist areas, regardless of location.
With our decentralized organization, which is more reminiscent of a cooperative, and with offices in Basel, Bern, Geneva, Lausanne/Sion, Lugano, and Zurich, we are highly familiar with regional situations.
A partner is available for each project. If necessary, suitable staff members are brought in. Where necessary and appropriate, you will be supported by other specialists. In this way, we can ensure that your concerns are dealt with comprehensively and competently, regardless of complexity and time pressure.
