Some of the world’s largest international and private banks have their headquarters in Zurich and Geneva.

From Switzerland, we provide a comprehensive range of trustee, corporate administration, accounting, audit and assurance, and tax services to individuals, privately held structures and corporates alike. Client confidentiality is at the heart of our Swiss operations: all of our client work is undertaken in Switzerland and all records are retained here. We manage a discrete number of structures with total assets in excess of USD 12 billion. In addition to financial assets, we have extensive experience in dealing with complex assets such as family businesses, art, commercial and residential real estate. We have a significant level of professional indemnity insurance, which provides assurance to those who trust us to deal with significant assets on a daily basis.

We can also provide IT support for the creation and maintenance of sophisticated databases for art (and other assets) for individual collectors and trusts. We understand that our advice must be tailored to the need of the individual client and that although an asset, art and antiques are primarily there to be enjoyed. Our Specialists
