We are an international corporate law firm based in Vaduz, which uses its long term experience in the areas of foundation law, asset recovery, investor litigation, tort law, and international white collar crime matters to mainly represent international clients in court and arbitration proceedings.
Further we advise and support clients comprehensively in the regulatory space, in obtaining financial market licenses (MIFID II).
In particular clients in the emerging Blockchain area make use of our expertise and advice in setting up the required structures, obtaining licenses and issuing utility tokens and security tokens as well as their subsequent listing (ICO, STO, IEO).
Together with our cooperation partners, we also support the long-term development of international corporate structures and Asset Protection Structures and accompany cross border M&A transactions.
Due to our close cooperation with leading foreign commercial law firms, tax advisors and auditors and our international orientation, we are able to offer domestic and foreign clients comprehensive support not only in consulting but particularly in dispute resolution.
Our permanent aim is to exceed the expectations and demands of our clients by an active approach and creative solutions, and thereby make also the seemingly impossible possible.
Practice areas
Business
During its life cycle nearly every company has to undergo a restructuring. May it be for growth, change of ownership, financial distress, acquisition by another company, tax reasons, shareholder exit or many other reasons.
We assist companies and shareholders in the acquisition and divestment of companies and parts of companies as well as in relocating, Spin-off and mergers. In often occurring cross-border matters, we work with a network of leading international law firms.
Employment & Labor
Legal problems in connection with employment relationships often become emotionally charged. At the same time, they can have serious consequences for both parties, even apart from the usually high cost implications. Such disputes are often caused by imprecise wording in labour law documents (including company and staff regulations), a lack of detailed knowledge of labour law issues or an ill-considered approach in the run-up to possible court proceedings. They could therefore be avoided …
Our law firm has many years of experience in advising and representing employers and employees in all areas of private and collective labour law. This includes in particular:
- extrajudicial and judicial representation in labour disputes in all labour law matters
- Drafting and dispute prevention of all types of employment documents (employment contracts, general terms and conditions of employment, personnel and bonus regulations, etc.)
- Drafting and enforcement of non-competition clauses
- Enforcement and possible defence of wage and bonus claims
- Issues relating to the termination of employment relationships (dismissals, leaves of absence, drafting and reviewing termination agreements, references, holiday, overtime and bonus payments, etc.)
- Discrimination in the workplace (bullying, sexual harassment, etc.)
- Internal investigations
Criminal Defense
In recent years, the area of white-collar crime law has gained increasing importance. In particular, the activity of corporate bodies are often in the focus of criminal prosecution. In the course of criminal proceedings often the entire assets of companies are unjustly frozen. Particularly in white-collar criminal matters, there is mostly a strong international connection and proceedings are pending in several jurisdictions at the same time. In addition, corporate bodies expose themselves to unnecessary identifiable risks.
We represent suspects and other affected parties comprehensively in commercial criminal cases and international legal assistance cases. Thanks to our strong network of foreign law firms, our clients may obtain a one-stop support for cross-border matters. Furthermore, we advise exposed corporate bodies and carry out preventive risk analysis.
