Law Firm Overview Free Consultation

Carlo Scevola & Partners is a fiduciary company headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, with branches in six continents. We specialize in tax planning, asset protection, strategic consulting and wealth management.

Our clients trust us for everything from setting up an offshore company to mergers and acquisitions to business finance and international planning. CS&P’s customer-centric methodology ensures that each client gets a custom-tailored solution which addresses that business’ individual objectives and requirements; not some cookie-cutter program.

Some consultancies promise to provide all the answers. We don't. But we guarantee we'll ask the right questions. That's the thing about Carlo Scevola & Partners - it's not about us. It's about you. Before we say anything … we listen.

For clients of CS&P, there is no such thing as a standard solution. Everything is customized - tailored to the individual needs and objectives. Every situation has its own unique set of circumstances; it would be presumptuous to assume we know the solution when we haven't even heard the problem.

- Project Development and Deal Hunting

Carlo Scevola & Partners do not only deal with aspects such as asset protection but also engage in a number of entrepreneurial ventures in a variety of roles – as consultant, partner, even financial backer. At CS&P, we think of ourselves neither as a merchant bank nor a venture capital fund but as something different altogether: a venture incubator. As such, we provide a flexible range of services tailored to the needs of the individual client using various techniques, some such as International tax planning. Bring an early stage idea to a VC and you end up working within their framework. Bring it to us and we reorganize to fit your needs.

- Asset Protection

Too often, private individuals and corporate entities start thinking about asset protection when it is too late. People tend to underestimate the importance of creating a solid strategy for protecting their properties and assets that will ensure they are kept in a safe and highly confidential environment. By the time creditors, competitors, and local or international authorities investigate an entity upon discovering sensible information about its estate, it is too late to implement an asset protection strategy.

- Offshore Services

Creating an offshore structure can be a huge boon for your business or your private financial dealings – provided the structure is done right. Carlo Scevola & Partners offer deep experience in offshore business development and provides international consulting in areas including companies, trusts, bank accounts, banking licenses, gambling licences and yacht registration, to name but a few. Our team provides the knowledge and expertise to help you set up an offshore enterprise that is 100% legal and appropriate, in multiple international jurisdictions.

- International Tax Planning

Carlo Scevola & Partners can provide vital guidance, international tax planning advice and assistance in handling complex transactions and managing cross-border taxation issues successfully. The professionals of CS&P can provide advice on tax-related issues.

- Corporate Structuring, Maintenance and Trusts

The corporate structure you choose will have a lot to do with the success and profitability of your business. A properly configured enterprise has many options as far as tax minimization, asset protection, bureaucracy avoidance, risk management, cost optimization and maintenance of confidentiality. Carlo Scevola & Partners will help you develop a corporate structure, trust or other appropriate entity that is perfectly suited to your needs and also 100% in compliance with local laws and regulations.

- International Contracts Law

Any international businessperson or lawyer will tell you that international contracts are the most difficult to negotiate and the easiest to go wrong. Legal, financial and cultural differences can keep parties from reaching agreement. And the complexities of harmonizing disparities can often seem insurmountable.

- Residency and Citizenship

There are many reasons for wishing to take up residency in a new country and possibly eventually change one's citizenship. Clearly doing so is a major decision, not to be taken lightly. And not surprisingly, as with any international dealings, the implications and consequences of residency and citizenship changes need to be considered carefully before any action is taken. Carlo Scevola & Partners provides individualized advisory services to clients wishing to change residence and/or citizenship. CS&P will help you understand all dimensions of such a move and can also help expedite the process on your behalf.

- International Banking

CS&P banking experts will discuss your business and/or personal objectives with you and help you evaluate what you need from a bank to suit your requirements for offshore banking. We'll identify the right offshore banking partner for you, make the necessary introductions and step you through the process of opening and operating an offshore bank account.
