Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Bergt und Partner AG

Bergt Law (Rechtsanwaltskanzlei Bergt & Partner AG / Law Firm Bergt & Partners Ltd.) is a business law firm headquartered in Vaduz, Liechtenstein, with offices in Austria and Switzerland, and advising domestic and international clients on corporate and commercial mandates with a distinctly European (EU/EEA law) orientation, namely where cross-border execution, governance design and documentation architecture must be aligned with regulatory perimeter, authority-facing risk, and the operational realities of modern enterprises.

Corporate / Commercial

Bergt Law supports boards, founders, shareholders and management teams across the corporate lifecycle—formation, growth, transformation and dispute—by translating strategic objectives into legally robust, transaction-ready structures and documentation that remain workable in practice, bankable for counterparties and investors, and resilient under supervisory or litigation stress. The firm advises, inter alia, on incorporations and structuring (including European and cross-border constellations), articles and corporate governance architecture, registrations and licences where required, shareholder arrangements (including option and investment documentation), reorganisations and restructurings, and corporate succession and asset-protection considerations, as well as on M&A execution (share deals and asset deals) and related transaction documentation and closing mechanics.

Banking / Financial Market Regulation

In regulated or regulation-adjacent mandates, the firm integrates corporate execution with financial-market regulatory analysis in order to avoid the classical “two-track” failure mode in which corporate structuring is negotiated first and regulatory feasibility is tested too late. The practice includes business-model classification and regulatory perimeter analysis, licensing and authorisation procedures and authority-facing representation (including before the Liechtenstein Financial Market Authority), prospectus and “passporting” interfaces for EEA distribution, MiCA licensing for crypto asset service providers, registration topics under Liechtenstein’s token and TT service provider framework, and payment-related onboarding workstreams (e.g., merchant acquiring and payment processing), alongside governance- and due diligence-related documentation and control concepts that regulators and institutional counterparties typically expect.

Governance, Compliance & Risk Management

A core differentiator lies in how Bergt Law approaches compliance not as a mere set of formal artefacts, but as an operational system that must support decision-making at board and management level while remaining audit- and supervision-proof. The firm advises on corporate governance and regulatory compliance frameworks, risk management set-ups, AML/CFT and due diligence concepts, and data-protection governance, and also offers in-house trainings and control simulations designed to replicate supervisory review processes so that weaknesses in documentation, controls or accountability lines can be detected and remedied early, i.e., before licensing steps, audits, transactions or enforcement dynamics create irreversible cost.

Dispute Resolution, Investor Litigation & Regulatory Proceedings

For matters that escalate into disputes or proceedings, Bergt Law represents clients in commercial disputes, investor-related litigation and authority-facing proceedings, and supports dispute strategy in parallel with corporate governance and reputational risk management where needed. The firm also provides alternative dispute resolution options (including mediation through strategic partners and arbitration) and, where appropriate, the possibility of litigation funding structures, enabling claimants to pursue meritorious cases without disproportionate liquidity strain and enabling defendants to structure a coherent defence posture while managing procedural and financial risk.

White-collar and crisis-adjacent matters

Where corporate exposure intersects with financial crime risk, the firm advises on compliance with AML-related obligations and represents clients in white-collar matters, including defence mandates, authority interaction, and asset-recovery or release-of-frozen-assets workstreams, recognising that—particularly in cross-border settings—substance, timing and documentary discipline are often determinative for outcomes.

IP, IT & data-centric commercial work

For technology-driven businesses and IP-/data-centric value chains, Bergt Law provides integrated advice in intellectual property and IT law, enabling clients to structure ownership, licensing and commercial exploitation of intangible assets, and to allocate technology and data risks through contracting and governance, which in turn reduces friction in financings, M&A diligence, outsourcing and scaling.

Contracts and compensation / damages-related enforcement

The firm supports clients in the drafting, review and negotiation of contracts across typical commercial constellations and advises on the enforcement and defence of damages and warranty claims, combining preventive drafting with the litigation readiness that becomes decisive when negotiations fail and a matter moves into proceedings.

Cross-border reach, cooperation network and language coverage

Headquartered in Liechtenstein and operating in Liechtenstein, Switzerland and Austria, Bergt Law also provides a wider cooperation network across the German-speaking region (including Germany) as well as selected international hubs, enabling the firm to coordinate multi-jurisdictional mandates with speed and international fluency which supports efficient interaction with international stakeholders and reduces friction in cross-border execution.

Working philosophy

Bergt Law articulates a “lean” and lifecycle-oriented approach: rather than treating legal work as a late-stage constraint, the firm aims to embed compliance, governance and documentation quality early, reduce unnecessary complexity, and keep decision loops short, so that clients can pursue growth, transactions and innovation with higher execution certainty under changing regulation and technology risk. This approach is complemented by ongoing publication activity intended to translate legal developments into implementable guidance for clients operating across borders.
