Our Activities

Athos Group focuses on the implementation and maintenance of global tax planning and asset protection structures for private clients, entrepreneurs and family owned businesses. We work in close cooperation with the client’s own advisors in creating effective tax and legal solutions. We generate added value by providing professional input as well as creative ideas and solutions on the basis of our experience and knowledge in key planning jurisdictions.

Through our offices, we can assist clients in setting up structures and managing companies, trusts, funds and foundations. On the basis of our network of preferred partners, we can also coordinate activities in other desired jurisdictions.

Via Athos Capital Partners, Athos Group also specialises in the development and implementation of tax-compliant exit scenarios whereby we assist clients to exit an inactive corporate holding or investment structure. These exit scenarios include but are not limited to the structuring of cash-rich companies located in various jurisdictions. We currently perform this activity from our offices in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Malta and Luxembourg.

As an independent group, we work with various tax and legal firms as well as wealth managers and (private) banks. This gives us the opportunity to introduce clients and their associates to various sound international (tax) lawyers and banks (asset managers) in all the relevant jurisdictions.

Athos Group is proud to serve reputable families, entrepreneurs and their companies around the globe. We believe in adding value by providing a top quality service with a personal approach and fair pricing.
