Charles Russell Speechlys
International legal practice Charles Russell Speechlys has appointed Frédéric Ney as a tax partner in Geneva, Switzerland.

Previously, he was at Bär & Karrer in Geneva where he had been a senior associate since 2023. Ney is a tax specialist whose practice covers national and cross-border tax and succession planning for Swiss and foreign clients. As well as cross-border planning for UHNW families, he brings corporate tax experience in restructuring and M&A, financing structures and incentive plans. Ney is admitted in Switzerland and New York, and is certified as a Swiss Tax Expert. He works in English, French, German and Spanish.

“Frédéric’s skillset and market connections make him the right strategic fit for our firm and our long-term growth plans across Switzerland and wider Europe,” Michael Lingens, regional lead for Continental Europe, said.

Michael Wells-Greco, head of the Swiss offices, added: “Across Switzerland, we now have a specialist private client and tax team of 10. Frédéric’s arrival strengthens our Swiss tax capability to provide transactional tax, tax advisory and tax controversy services to our national and international clients.”

Ney’s appointment follows the recent arrival of partner Luca Beffa into the firm’s arbitration team in Geneva in January, reflecting the firm’s continued investment in Switzerland and wider European offices.
