Your goals
Clear responsibilities, risk-based decision-making processes, transparent organisational structures and careful checks and balances are essential factors in the compliance and reputation of every company. They influence a company's strategic positioning, credibility, and last but not least, its valuation. Our clients are private and public companies and their managers seek the support of our specialists for modern corporate and public governance.

From the magazine
We keep moving
The Zug-based MME office will move to Gubelstrasse 22 on May 6, 2019 - just a stone's throw away from the old office. The new location is centrally located, in the immediate vicinity of the railway station, and very easily accessible for our clients and colleagues.
Shares in the Digital Age
In times of digitization, there is a growing need to process more and more legal transactions in a digital framework - also in the area of raising and processing of funds or in general corporate transactions. Within the framework of so-called Security Token Offerings ("STO"), companies limited by shares can, for example, digitally issue shares or participation certificates in the form of tokens and hence facilitate the tradeability of their investments. It must be ensured that, in addition to the digital transfer of the tokens, the shareholders rights are synchronically transferred, fully compliant with local laws and regulations and legally valid.
