Trust Structures

Corporate, foundation and trust law

Unlike the vast majority of continental European legal systems, the Principality of Liechtenstein recognizes trusts as part of its own legal framework. For our clients from English-speaking countries, the Liechtenstein trust serves as a key structuring tool. With years of experience, we provide expert guidance on the establishment of Liechtenstein trusts, their administration, and the selection of potential co-trustees.
