Russia Desk

The international geopolitical situation has fundamentally changed the legal environment related to Russia. In this sensitive context, we offer comprehensive legal advice for private clients and companies with connections to Russia within the framework of current restrictions.
We are familiar with the expectations and cultural specificities of Russian-speaking clients and understand how to address their individual concerns. Our clients are wealthy individuals, entrepreneurs, family offices, asset managers, and companies with economic or personal ties to Russia.
For private individuals, we especially assist with taking up residence in Switzerland - whether as part of a lump-sum taxation request or as an entrepreneurially active executive. We also provide advice on asset structuring, succession and estate planning, as well as investments in assets such as businesses, commercial and residential real estate, and other assets. Our advice is always provided in an integrated manner - legally and fiscally from a single source.
We support companies that have or want to establish economic relations with Russia in structuring their projects in a legally secure manner. We help identify risks related to current restrictions, comply with compliance and export control requirements, and develop sustainable business models under the current conditions. Our interdisciplinary approach covers not only tax, foreign exchange, and regulatory law, but also issues of corporate, commercial, and contract law.
As an experienced business law firm based in Switzerland, we combine the highest legal precision with economic understanding and cultural sensitivity. Our goal: sustainable solutions that meet the complex geopolitical challenges as well as the personal goals of our clients.
