Bergt Law advises and represents private clients, entrepreneurial families, family offices, founders, beneficiaries and governing bodies on the legal set-up, governance, succession and protection of their interests in Liechtenstein and in cross-border matters.
Legal advice and representation are provided by Bergt Law. Trustee services, asset management, investment advisory and other regulated non-legal services are not provided by Bergt Law. Where required, we coordinate the involvement of appropriately licensed independent specialist partners from our network.
Private wealth requires more than the legal set-up of a structure. Legal clarity, robust governance, long-term succession planning and the consistent protection of the interests of families, founders, beneficiaries and governing bodies are essential.
Legal advice and representation in connection with the establishment of foundations, the legal framework of trusts, governance matters, amendments and the rights and duties of founders, beneficiaries, trustees and governing bodies.
Legal advice on private and business succession, inheritance matters, dispositions, governance and relevant family and corporate law interfaces.
Legal advice on family constitutions, decision-making and control mechanisms, allocation of roles, conflict prevention and intergenerational governance.

Our Private Wealth practice advises and represents private and institutional clients on complex legal matters concerning assets, family interests and governance structures.
Private wealth matters are frequently cross-border. A Liechtenstein foundation, trust or participation structure should therefore not be considered in legal isolation. We analyse the Liechtenstein legal position, advise and represent clients on the relevant legal interfaces and, where required, coordinate with foreign legal, tax or appropriately licensed specialist advisers.
Typical legal issues may concern establishment, purpose, governance, founder and beneficiary rights, information rights, duties of governing bodies, amendments and the judicial or out-of-court protection of interests.
A Liechtenstein foundation is a separate legal entity. A trust is a legal relationship under which assets are held and administered by a trustee for beneficiaries in accordance with the trust instrument. The precise legal consequences depend on the individual circumstances and design.
Yes. We advise and represent founders, beneficiaries, foundation boards, trustees and other stakeholders in relation to rights and duties, information rights, governance matters and disputes.
We advise and represent clients on Liechtenstein law and relevant legal interfaces. Where foreign law, taxation, trustee activities or other regulated non-legal services are involved, we can coordinate with appropriately qualified and licensed independent specialist partners where required.
We advise and represent clients discreetly, independently and with a solution-oriented approach on complex legal matters involving private wealth, families, succession and governance connected with Liechtenstein.
