GASSER PARTNER Attorneys at Law

What GASSER PARTNER Attorneys at Law does

Gasser Partner Rechtsanwälte (GASSER PARTNER Attorneys at Law) is a Liechtenstein-based boutique law firm organized as a simple partnership (einfache Gesellschaft) under Liechtenstein law, with 44 employees and three offices across the DACH region: headquarters in Schaan (Liechtenstein), Zurich (Switzerland), and Vienna (Austria). The firm specializes in four core practice areas: (1) Private Clients, Estate Planning, and Asset Protection, including Liechtenstein foundations, trusts, and establishments; (2) Banking and Financial Markets Law, covering licensing, financing transactions, financial products, fund structures, and representation before the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority (FMA); (3) Corporate, Foundation, and Trust Law; and (4) Litigation and Arbitration before Liechtenstein courts. Senior Partner Johannes Gasser has authored the standard practitioner references for Liechtenstein foundation and trust law, including the 'Liechtensteinisches Stiftungsrecht Praxiskommentar' (2nd edition, 2019), the 'Liechtensteinisches Trustrecht - Praxishandbuch' (2020), and 'Litigation and Arbitration in Liechtenstein' (2nd edition).

The firm serves two primary customer segments in parallel: high-net-worth private clients and families seeking cross-border wealth structuring, estate planning, family business succession, and family office advisory; and financial institutions (banks, insurance companies, asset managers, fund management companies) requiring regulatory advisory, licensing, and FMA representation. Secondary segments include FinTech and crypto service providers (leveraging Liechtenstein's progressive blockchain/DLT framework) and beneficiaries/governing bodies of foundations and trusts. Engagement-based, quote-driven professional fees apply across all segments, with multi-year contracts typical for foundation/trust and ongoing regulatory mandates.

Gasser Partner operates an integrated service ecosystem by working in close cooperation with affiliated entities GASSER PARTNER Trust Reg. (trust services) and Gasser Partner Notariat (notary services), enabling combined legal, trust, and notarial delivery. GTM is exclusively direct, enterprise-field sales through the three offices and professional referrals. The firm does not offer software products, APIs, or technology platforms; the only technology referenced is self-hosted Matomo open-source web analytics for website usage evaluation. Thought leadership is a core marketing pillar, delivered through an extensive Insights/publications section, a newsletter, LinkedIn, and recurring analyst recognition across Chambers Global, Chambers Europe, Chambers HNW, Chambers FinTech, Legal 500 EMEA Top Tier, ALM Private Client Global Elite/Excellence, Spears 500, and Lexology Index. Internal capability building is supported by the GAPA Academy and Mentoring Program.
