Lombard Odier is enhancing its value package for its entrepreneur clients by launching Lombard Odier Corporate Advice.

Over the next five years, almost 2,000 SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland and 35,000 firms in Switzerland overall will change hands owing to a sale outside the family circle.

To respond to this market dynamic and give comprehensive support to its clients, Bank Lombard Odier & Cie SA established a Corporate Consulting centre of competence with the goal of providing high-quality services in the areas of company acquisition, sale, and governance.

The service will help customers make all strategic decisions about the sale, transfer, and governance of their businesses.

Frédéric Rochat, Managing Partner at Lombard Odier, comments, “We have always sought to set the standard in private banking for entrepreneurs and their families over the long term. At a time when many business owners are preparing to hand over the reins of their companies and sometimes to restructure their wealth, we see the provision of this new expertise as a natural extension of our service offering.”

The Bank has appointed Maxime Dubouloz and Jules Boudrand to lead Lombard Odier Corporate Advice in building this new value proposition.
