Annaïg Vogt

What has been the highlight of your practice over the past 12 months?

Assisting clients, holding US, French and Swiss nationalities, with the partition of the estate of their late father/husband, holding French and Swiss nationalities, with last domicile in Switzerland and assets, including real estate, in the US, France and Switzerland, worth CHF 20 million, and coordination with US tax advisors, French and Swiss notary publics and French tax advisors. Assistance with the partition of the estate and drafting of a corresponding partition agreement. A layer of complexity was added due to US tax laws and the application of the EU Succession Regulation.

What advice would you give rising stars/new lawyers in the private client world?
