⚖️ Legal Advisory & Strategic Solutions
S-Gate provides support in Switzerland not only with company formation and market entry processes, but also develops strategic solutions for international investors and companies facing financial, commercial, or administrative challenges.
Switzerland’s regulatory framework is robust and disciplined.
With the right structuring and professional guidance, processes can be managed efficiently and in a controlled manner.
We provide services in the following areas:
01. Bank Exit Management
(Bank Exit & Transition Management)
Risk policies and compliance requirements within the Swiss banking system are subject to periodic changes. As a result, international clients may receive account termination notices and face limited timeframes for transferring their assets.
Scope of services:
• Conducting a comprehensive compliance review of the existing file
• Providing strategic recommendations for repositioning asset and/or corporate structures
• Developing a banking application strategy and assessing alternative institutions
• Preparing a transition plan and legally coordinating the transfer process
Objective: Ensuring uninterrupted and controlled access to the financial system.
02. Treuhand (Swiss Financial & Fiduciary Services) & AML Compliance Optimization
(Restructuring of Rejected Applications)
In Switzerland, the term “Treuhand” extends beyond accounting services and encompasses the professional representation of a company’s financial, administrative, and regulatory matters.
Under LBA/GwG (AML) regulations, rejection rates for Treuhand and financial intermediary applications from foreign investors have increased. In many cases, the issue is not actual non-compliance, but insufficiently or improperly structured application documentation.
Scope of services:
• Preparation of Source of Funds and Source of Wealth documentation
• Analysis and restructuring of the AML risk profile
• Optimization of documentation in line with Swiss regulatory standards
• Professional coordination with fiduciary firms and financial intermediaries
Objective: Reducing risk exposure and positioning the applicant as a transparent and compliant investor.
03. Lex Koller & Real Estate Structuring
The acquisition of real estate by foreign investors in Switzerland is subject to Lex Koller regulations. Improper structuring may lead to delays or refusals during notarial or permit procedures.
Scope of services:
• Transaction-specific legal analysis
• Development of alternative structuring models
• Assessment of corporate structure and permit status
• Coordination with notaries and relevant authorities
Objective: Ensuring legally secure and sustainable execution of the real estate transaction.
04. Dormant Assets – Research & Claim Enforcement
Claims relating to long-inactive accounts and assets in Switzerland require technical and procedural expertise.
Scope of services:
• Conducting preliminary research in relevant registers
• Assessing legal entitlement
• Managing the application process in accordance with Swiss regulations
• Structuring engagement through transparent agreements and a performance-based model
Objective: Facilitating lawful access of rightful owners to their assets.
05. International Debt Enforcement
(Swiss Debt Enforcement Support)
Enforcing outstanding claims against Swiss companies may be complex due to language barriers, local procedural requirements, and specific legal considerations.
Scope of services:
• Contract- and invoice-based legal pre-assessment
• Evaluation of the debtor’s commercial situation

• Cooperation with legal partners where required
Objective: Conducting debt recovery proceedings in full compliance with Swiss law.
