The challenge
What this sector has to get right in Switzerland
International law firms and consultancies advise clients who need something done in Switzerland (a FINMA licence, SRO affiliation, an AML framework, a Swiss entity with substance) that sits outside their own qualification or jurisdiction. Referring the client away risks the relationship; doing the Swiss work without local depth risks the matter. A white-label Swiss desk solves both: the Swiss execution is handled by a firm that does this daily, while the client relationship and the lead advisory role stay with the referring firm.
The work suited to this model is exactly our core. Financial-regulation matters (FINMA authorisation, SRO membership, AML officer and framework) have been our specialisation since 2014, and they are the matters that most often stop a foreign adviser. Around them sit corporate administration, SPVs and secretarial work that a foreign firm cannot easily run on the ground in Switzerland.
We work to the referring firm's brief, keep communication routed through it where that is preferred, and carry the Swiss-side professional responsibility for the work we do. The client gets Swiss depth; the adviser keeps the account and adds a capability without building a Swiss office.
