Tetra Law

Firm Overview:
Tetra Law has gained a renowned reputation for delivering exceptional and solution-oriented services, fostering long-standing relationships with our clients. Our approach is firmly grounded on three core values: Passion, Synergy, and Enterprise.

Our team of dedicated attorneys is passionate about their work. Each member plays a crucial role and we emphasize their continuous professional development, keeping them aware of the latest legal developments, trends and best practices. This dedication is reflected in their frequent publications, active participation in seminars and in the strong reputation they have earned within the legal community. Moreover, Mrs. Sabrina Scarnà actively engages in academic trainings at universities, providing prompt and practical answers to inquiries. Acting as partners to our clients, we aim to offer creative and pragmatic solutions, going beyond mere legal advice, while proactively anticipating potential legislative changes.

The robust synergy among our departments proves invaluable when assisting entrepreneurs and investors with the management and transfer of their assets. Our extensive expertise enables us to handle all aspects of transactions comprehensively, including gifts, matrimonial property regimes, wills and company transfers. Our integrated approach seamlessly addresses civil matters, tax considerations, and financial issues, distinguishing us from competitors and providing our clients with a comprehensive service. This ensures our clients' comfort and confidence in the outcome of their transactions across all material aspects. Furthermore, our strong and renowned expertise in Anti-Money Laundering enables us to propose structurally reliable tax solutions, particularly in an environment governed by general and specific anti-abuse regulations. We guide our clients on repatriation and underlying compliance or Cayman tax issues, which hold significant importance in wealth management today. Tetra Law has established authority in this field and maintains close connections with tax authorities, such as the Office for Advance Tax Rulings ("Service des Décisions Anticipées"), enabling us to swiftly obtain rulings. With their profound expertise, the Private Wealth Law department skilfully handles preliminary group restructurings, drafts articles of association for companies and private foundations and formulates regulations for securities certification and shareholders' agreements. Through close cooperation with notaries or family offices, we prioritize loyalty and ensure our clients receive the most effective solutions when needed.

While our client base primarily comprises businesses, we also attract many private individuals seeking our expertise in wealth management. Recognizing the uniqueness of each client, we tailor our services to meet their specific needs. Whether they are experienced serial entrepreneurs or wealthy individuals lacking legal knowledge, we provide them with the best advice and assistance possible.

As a PLG member, an international network of independent law firms, we possess a global reach allowing us to support clients in cross-border transactions. Additionally, our membership in Amcham Belgium, one of the country's largest and most influential business organizations, keeps us up to date with the latest developments in the business world, enabling us to provide our clients with the most informed guidance.
