Foundation Law

Foundations are vehicles for binding wealth across generations. Whether established as a legally recognised civil-law foundation, a dependent foundation or a family foundation: the design of the charter determines fulfilment of purpose and tax status.

• Advising on the appropriate foundation form (legally recognised / dependent / charitable / private-benefit)
• Founding deed, charter and recognition procedure
• Charitable-status structuring and coordination with the tax authorities
• Governance: board, council, advisory body — competencies, remuneration, liability
• Asset management policies, investment committees, sustainability criteria
• Foundation supervision: communication with supervisory authorities, annual financial statements, amendment approvals

Foundation law cannot be considered without tax law. We work closely with the client's tax advisors — or recommend trusted colleagues from our network.
