About Homburger

Homburger is a Zurich-headquartered Swiss business law firm whose private wealth law practice has been ranked in Chambers High Net Worth for eleven consecutive years, most recently in Band 2 for Switzerland. Alongside its private client work, the firm is active across the corporate, finance, tax and dispute resolution areas that UHNW clients and family offices typically need when a personal matter touches a business or an investment structure.

Known For

• Private wealth law practice ranked in Chambers High Net Worth Switzerland for eleven consecutive years (Band 2, 2026 guide)
• Zurich-headquartered Swiss business law firm covering corporate, finance, tax and dispute resolution alongside private client work
• Advises on matters where a family's wealth structure intersects with a corporate transaction, financing or regulatory question

Typical Mandate

Families, entrepreneurs and family offices with Swiss ties instruct Homburger where a private wealth matter overlaps with corporate, financing or tax complexity: for instance, a business sale that triggers succession planning, the structuring of a holding company that will also serve as a family vehicle, or cross-border tax and regulatory questions tied to Swiss residence or assets. The firm's private wealth lawyers typically work alongside its corporate and tax colleagues on these mandates rather than as a stand-alone private client department.

How to Engage

Introductions typically come through private banks, trustees, auditors or other law firms given the Swiss market's reliance on referral relationships, though direct enquiries through the firm's website are accepted. Prospective clients should be ready to explain how the private wealth question connects to any underlying business, investment or financing matter, since that overlap is central to how the firm positions its private wealth practice.
