Corporate Structuring and Compliance Support for UK Employment Firm’s Expansion to Switzerland

We advised one of the UK's market leaders in temporary employment on corporate structuring and regulatory compliance for expanding their operations into Switzerland. Drawing from our extensive experience in corporate restructuring and relocation support, we tailored a strategic legal approach specific to the client's expansion model.

Our team conducted in-depth consultations and provided strategic guidance on Swiss corporate law, helping the client navigate the complexities of international expansion and permitting the planned activities. This included insights aligned with our broader legal and regulatory support capabilities, ensuring that the client’s operating structure complied with local legal frameworks.

We successfully obtained the necessary authorizations from the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), enabling the client to provide employment services and establish a strong corporate presence in Switzerland. The regulatory process was supported by our familiarity with cross-border dynamics, reinforced by engagements such as legal guidance for acquisition of grain trading company, where complex jurisdictional requirements had to be met. As part of the compliance assessment, we also considered developments such as VAT in Switzerland rising in 2024 and factored these into the client’s tax planning and financial modeling.

The recognition received in the IFLR1000 ranking further reflects our standing in high-stakes corporate advisory and transactional law, underscoring the quality of support provided in this case.
