Financial Services Law

Switzerland is a globally recognized financial center that is characterized by its high level of security. Accordingly, Swiss financial service providers are used by private individuals and companies alike. To minimize the risks of money laundering, corruption and terrorist financing, financial service providers are confronted with a multitude of regulations and due diligence obligations.

Regulation of the financial industry has become increasingly stringent in the recent past. Public expectations also put pressure on financial service providers. Thus, the topics of corporate governance and compliance are high on the agenda of companies.

Financial services law regulates financial service providers, banks, and insurance companies, as well as their product and service design and the contractual arrangements between providers and customers.

Our law firm specializes in advising financial service providers. Both our owner, attorney-at-law Dr. Dr. Fabian Teichmann, LL.M., and a large part of our team have interdisciplinary training in the fields of law and economics. Among other things, Mr. Teichmann has degrees in economics and finance as well as accounting and finance. Thus, financial service providers as well as their clients always receive the best possible advice from us in all related matters.

Among other things, we advise you on the planning and execution of complex transactions and on all compliance matters. We support you in the planning and implementation of internal compliance programs, employee coaching and whistleblowing channels. In doing so, we always answer your questions with the utmost care and take your individual situation into account. Dr. Dr. Teichmann, LL.M., has completed his doctorate at the Universities of Kassel and Zurich on the topics of incentive systems for the prevention of bribery and ways of circumventing money laundering prevention measures. Furthermore, we also support you in strategic risk management.

Based on our many years of experience in the field, we can help you to reduce information asymmetries. In addition, we keep you up to date on current regulatory developments and advise you on their implementation. We can also advise you on the review of your compliance regime.
