Integrated approach
The new regulatory framework will raise various issues in terms of authorization requirements as well as ongoing compliance with new rules for different financial service providers. We provide you guidance in the changing regulatory environment by reviewing your business model against the regulatory requirements, submitting licensing applications, updating your internal guidelines and supporting you with any other questions that might arise.

Our team consists of experts with longstanding experience in regulatory matters, in particular in licensing procedures before FINMA and compliance issues. We maintain excellent relations with FINMA and other relevant service providers, facilitating shorter processes and preventing avoidable detours.
