Short Biography

Born and educated in Switzerland, I was very fortunate to be able to travel the world from a young age and to work abroad, in London, Hong Kong and Hamilton, Bermuda. I am with MLL Legal since 2001 and co-head the firm’s private clients practice group. My main areas of practice are international estate and tax planning, providing broad expert advice to sophisticated international private clients and family offices, with a special focus on corporate and contractual issues to family-owned businesses and entrepreneurial ventures. As of late, I have been advising very mobile families with their relocation and estate planning matters, which brings every day new surprises and excitement in a complex and challenging environment, especially for "modern families". Needless to say, Switzerland offers much appreciated stability in today's environment.
