Country Business Reports interviews and articles by Discovery Reports Discoveryreports.com Beyond top-notch legal expertise, Blum&Grob outperforms the bigger Swiss law firms with its personalised service. While large law outfits have a tendency to treat clients as a mere number, Blum&Grob draws on its dynamic corporate culture to focus on the distinct requirements of each high-net-worth individual or corporate client in the areas of financial services, aviation and private client concerns. “It’s all about the clients. We’re not trying to sell ourselves as being the best, but strive to reach out and listen to their needs so we can tailor a specific legal structure, instead of implementing something that has been done 50 times already,” says partner Dr Natalie Peter, who is a member of the private tax committee of the International Bar Association and teaches at the University of Zurich, University of Liechtenstein and Institute for Swiss and International Tax Law. Drawing on its experience and global network, Blum&Grob can guide Asian clients through the nuances of the Swiss legal landscape. The firm knows the best way to open a Swiss bank account, immigrate to the country or structure a real estate purchase. With regards to family governance, Blum&Grob can design the best legal structure to protect a company in case a patriarch passes away. The firm can also set up everything needed in owning and maintaining a private jet, while its financial services team can resolve a frozen Swiss account or acquire a bitcoin licence. Its expertise extends further to cover information technology and intellectual property rights, corporate and labour law, and litigation. “We’re well-equipped in these areas and are open for collaborations as there are many opportunities to assist Asian clients,” Peter says. “We’re bringing out our strengths and sharing them with the region. We want to learn what the market needs and how we can be there to help.” www.blumgrob.ch
