We pride ourselves on our combination of specialist expertise and interdisciplinary capability, enabling us to meet our clients’ needs in a flexible, dynamic and efficient manner.

We act for clients ranging from domestic and international companies and financial institutions to government bodies, trust companies and private individuals, and we regularly work in collaboration with leading international law firms (including coordinating transnational proceedings). Our clients appreciate our strong ties with Liechtenstein, which are reflected by our longstanding relations with decision-makers and public authorities. Many of our employees have held, and continue to hold, significant positions in public institutions.
