Conducting business in the financial sector usually requires a prior authorisation from the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (“FINMA”). Borel & Barbey has strong experience in obtaining such authorisations for clients, whether banks, insurers, securities Firms, collective asset managers, collective investment schemes, wealth managers, or trustees.
We also advise foreign and Swiss service providers, particularly family offices, to determine whether or not the activity they intend to carry out in Switzerland requires prior authorisation.
