Private Legal Counsel in Geneva

Legal & Advisory in Geneva

Geneva is the other half of Swiss private banking, and the diplomatic capital of Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, commodities, watchmaking and international institutions, and the members we look after here are typically principals with banking relationships and often a residence nearby.

Counsel is introduced on the strength of the matter, not on who pays for the introduction. We identify firms genuinely qualified for the question, make the introduction discreetly, and stay alongside so nothing is lost between advisers.

Practically, an international airport with one of Europe's busiest business aviation terminals, and the watch and commodity trades both run through here.

Most of what we arrange here runs between Geneva and India. That means one desk holding both ends, so nothing is lost between an adviser there and a counterparty here, and neither side is left waiting on the other's working hours.

Held locally

How this works in Geneva.

  • Requests from Geneva reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
  • Every engagement is direct between you and the firm. We do not sit in the fee line.
  • Where something cannot be arranged in Geneva on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.

Questions, answered once

Can you arrange a second opinion without changing advisers?

It depends on the request and the season. Your relationship manager gives you a realistic timeframe when you ask, and says early if it is not achievable rather than late.
