Private Clients

Walder Wyss offers private clients comprehensive advisory services. We provide support in relocating to or taking up residence in Switzerland and also in planning and setting up the appropriate structures. We evaluate the most suitable domestic and international arrangements, including foundations and trusts, and we develop bespoke solutions.

In corporate succession and estate planning we think long term and strive for sustainable solutions. Our aim is to ensure maximum international flexibility through early planning.

Our experts also advise private clients on matrimonial property law. We advise our private clients on all aspects of tax arrangements and tax planning. In connection with contested wills, inheritance and matrimonial property agreements, and estate administration, we represent our clients before Swiss courts or arbitral tribunals.

We adhere to high ethical standards in all our activities. As lawyers and tax advisors we therefore enjoy the confidence of numerous wealthy private clients as well as the tax authorities.

  • "Able to see the big picture and tailor their advice to the overall client needs, not just looking at the Swiss bit of the jigsaw."
