Team Services

Bergt Law is a Liechtenstein-based, internationally oriented practice advising at the intersection of banking and financial market law, corporate and commercial law, fintech, digital assets, governance, compliance, and disputes. The team is particularly recognised for combining regulatory depth with transactional execution, so that market entry, licensing, structuring, governance, and strategic transactions are designed not merely to work on paper, but to remain operationally robust under supervisory scrutiny and in cross-border business reality. With a strong Liechtenstein platform and regular coverage of matters involving Switzerland, Austria, and the wider EU/EEA, the firm supports clients across the full lifecycle of sophisticated mandates, from authorisation and structuring through implementation, remediation, investigations, and contentious proceedings.

The practice is led by Dr. Josef Bergt, whose work centres on Liechtenstein and European corporate and commercial law, banking and financial market regulation, regulated transactions, financing rounds, restructurings, and EU/EEA market-access strategies for financial institutions, intermediaries, and technology-driven businesses. He is supported, where mandates require further supervisory and restructuring depth, by Priv.-Doz. Dr. Thomas Stern, whose nearly two decades of experience in European financial market law, including senior roles at the Liechtenstein FMA in banking supervision and bank and investment firm resolution, add particular strength in licensing, MiCAR-related advisory work, supervisory expectations, and complex regulatory implementation. The team is complemented by Dr. Peter Bergt, whose practice strengthens the firm’s capabilities in litigation, commercial and contract law, damages and warranty matters, and IT-related disputes, together with a broader platform of of counsel lawyers and strategic partners.

Clients instruct the team where corporate, regulatory, and contentious issues converge and where commercially viable solutions must be aligned with governance, compliance, and operational reality. Bergt Law is particularly active for financial institutions, fintech and digital-asset businesses, corporates, founders, and growth-stage ventures requiring integrated advice on licensing, MiCAR and related financial-services regimes, M&A and reorganisations, corporate governance, internal control and compliance frameworks, and cross-border structuring. This combination of scientific depth, practical regulatory experience, and transaction-focused execution defines the team’s market profile.
