Senior Associate · Geneva
Sofia Bernasconi
Sofia Bernasconi serves French- and Italian-speaking international clients from the Switzerland Firma Geneva office, structuring Swiss companies for cross-border M&A and for private-wealth contexts. Her engagements typically begin with a jurisdictional comparison, Geneva or Vaud for French-speaking clients, Ticino for Italian-speaking, occasionally Zug when tax efficiency is the dominant factor.
From there she handles the formation, share-purchase agreements for transfers of existing entities, and SPV structuring for cross-border deals. Sofia works most often with French, Italian, and Lebanese clientele in their native languages, with English and working German as bridges to the Zurich and Zug offices for German-Swiss collaborations.
