Private Legal Counsel in Zurich
Legal & Advisory in Zurich
Zurich is the centre of Swiss private banking and the most discreet money in Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, insurance, commodities trading and watchmaking, and the members we look after here are typically families with Swiss banking relationships going back decades.
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 an established general aviation presence, and discretion here is a professional standard rather than a preference.
Most of what we arrange here runs between Zurich 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 Zurich.
- Requests from Zurich 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 Zurich on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.
