Nazik EL MAHJOUBI is a banking, financial and tax lawyer in Geneva, and the attorney at the head of Lexways, a full service law firm advising clients across Switzerland and Luxembourg. She has practised for more than fifteen years, and the work that reaches her tends to be the demanding, sensitive kind: entrepreneurs, private clients, companies and financial institutions who want advice that is clear, practical and completely discreet. Cross border tax is central to what she does. She advises on international and Swiss tax planning, Luxembourg tax, double taxation treaties, tax rulings and the tax side of moving a business or a family between countries. For high net worth and ultra high net worth clients, she structures private wealth, plans relocation to Switzerland or Luxembourg, and makes sure that every cross border move is efficient and fully compliant on both sides of the border. Banking and financial law is the other heart of her practice, covering financial services regulation, compliance, wealth structuring and banking disputes, along with a rare expertise in Islamic finance and Sharia compliant structuring. Her clientele is largely international: entrepreneurs featured by Forbes, family offices, asset managers and business figures across the MENA region. Her work rarely stops at litigation. Alongside cases before the Swiss and Luxembourg courts, she guides clients through the full life of a project, from company formation in Switzerland or Luxembourg (an SA, a Sàrl, an SPF, a holding or a foundation) to mergers and acquisitions, cross border transactions and tax optimisation. Working in French and English, she gives each client a single, trusted contact for high stakes matters that cross borders.
