Financial Regulation & Licensing
FINMA authorisation, the FinIA asset-manager and trustee licences, fund and banking licences, and SRO membership: the regulatory work we have specialised in since 2014.
Financial regulationGoldblum and Partners is a Swiss corporate, regulatory and fiduciary firm. Our work runs from FINMA and crypto licensing through company formation, substance and tax to private clients, IP and restructuring, with financial regulation the flagship specialisation since 2014. One partner owns your file across whichever practices a matter touches, so you deal with a single firm, not a relay of providers.
Independent since 2007 · IFLR1000-ranked · offices in Zurich and Zug · five working languages.
Each practice is a complete cocoon of services with its own hub. Start with the one closest to your need; we connect the others when a matter spans more than one.

Restructuring & insolvencyMost mandates touch more than one practice — a crypto licence needs company formation, substance and AML; a relocation needs tax, a foundation and a bank account. We keep the team deliberately small and senior, with one partner owning your file from first contact to completion and the right specialists brought in for the parts that need them. You get the breadth of a full firm without being handed between departments. If you are not sure which practice your matter starts in, that is our job to work out, not yours.
Describe your situation in a line or two. A partner reads every enquiry, points you to the right practice, and replies within one business day, in English, German, French, Spanish or Italian.
