How we help
Our experience in the field allows us to support clients wishing to establish themselves in Switzerland and start up a company: we can count on our knowledge and the collaboration of trusted notaries and accountants.
We also offer decisive support for cross-border business or business situations between Italy and Switzerland or between France and Switzerland. When appropriate, we also suggest the advice of other trusted professionals for the resolution of very specific business issues.
Commercial law in relation to sport
We assist clients wishing to invest in the sports sector in Switzerland and Italy. Over the years we have assisted investors, for example, in the acquisition of majority stakes in companies controlling and managing professional football clubs in Switzerland and from Switzerland to abroad. In these cases, we take care of the due diligence of the club, including the identification of the main legal and regulatory, as well as tax and accounting issues. We work in synergy with other professionals specialised in the various fields, in order to successfully lead our clients through the negotiations, straight to the closing of the deal.
