  • ‘Partner work without delegation and loss of time to re explain to a changing team and pragmatic solutions are rare, Michael Fischer is a class act and his tax and legal practice is Swiss but his outreach is truly global, a pearl amongst personal advisers’ 

  • ‘I think their tax team is unique due to their very good knowledge and handling of Swiss tax authorities. This is very important in Switzerland, as the tax authorities are relatively open to a cooperative approach, if you push the right buttons and speak their language. This team is great at that. ’
