We act in disputes involving private wealth structures, succession conflicts, and cross-border family and asset issues, with a dispute-aware approach to governance and enforceability.

How we typically support

We work at the interface of private client structuring and contentious strategy - focused on evidence, decision rights, and workable outcomes.

Scope of services

• Handling disputes involving foundations, trusts, and holding structures

• Managing beneficiary, governance, and information-rights conflicts

• Pursuing and defending claims involving fiduciary duties and alleged mismanagement

• Coordinating cross-border succession and estate-related disputes

• Planning asset location and recovery strategy, including interim measures

• Supporting settlement strategy, mediation, and negotiated restructurings

• Coordinating with foreign counsel and advisors

• Preparing Liechtenstein-law opinions for use in foreign proceedings

Approach

Private client disputes are rarely “only legal". We develop a strategy that addresses governance mechanics, stakeholder incentives, and enforceability - while keeping confidentiality and reputational considerations under control.

Deliverables

• A governance and decision-rights assessment (options, authority, constraints)

• An evidence plan and timeline of events

• A settlement and restructuring options paper with implementation steps

Liechtenstein-law opinions

We prepare Liechtenstein-law opinions for use in cross-border disputes involving foundations, trusts, and holding structures. Opinions focus on governance mechanics, decision rights, and duties, and are drafted in a form suitable for pleadings, submissions, and hearings.

Selected experience (anonymised)

• Advising on foundation and trust-related disputes involving governance and information rights

• Supporting cross-border succession conflicts with parallel legal tracks

• Preparing Liechtenstein-law opinions for foreign proceedings and negotiations

If you require a second opinion on strategy or a Liechtenstein-law opinion, we can typically accommodate short timelines.
