LINDEMANNLAW is delighted to invite you to the next edition of our web workshop series on relocation to Switzerland.
Following the continued strong interest and excellent feedback from previous sessions, this edition will take a more targeted and practical approach by focusing on one of Switzerland's most attractive locations: the Canton of Obwalden.
Located in the heart of Switzerland, Obwalden combines competitive taxation, efficient administration, central accessibility and exceptional quality of life, making it an increasingly compelling destination for entrepreneurs, investors and internationally mobile families.
We are particularly pleased to welcome new guest speakers from Standort Promotion Obwalden, who will provide first-hand insights into the canton's economic environment, relocation process and practical support for individuals and businesses establishing themselves in Obwalden.
This session will offer practical, decision-relevant insights into Swiss taxation, immigration law and cross-border structuring, complemented by local expertise and interactive discussion.
