Lausanne is a natural hub for Mirabaud: ideally situated at the heart of the Lake Geneva region, the capital of Vaud offers reach across the whole of French-speaking Switzerland – from the canton of Vaud to Valais, via Fribourg and the Jura. With a network of entrepreneurs, investors, and high net worth families, the bank believes it is the ideal base from which to serve a regional clientele.

The Lausanne office will be supported by a local team comprising experienced private bankers with roots in the canton of Vaud. It will be headed by Louis Fauchier-Magnan, equity partner, head of wealth management in French-speaking Switzerland and a representative of the seventh generation of Mirabaud’s founding family. He will be backed by Pascal Meilland, team leader and director. The team will be gradually strengthened with new talent from the region, the bank continued.

Beyond traditional wealth management, the Lausanne office will offer a range of services tailored to the particular local needs of the region. This includes wealth and estate planning, taking into account the specificities of the Swiss tax system, pension provision and private equity.

“This opening is a natural continuation of our development. It reflects our desire to be ever closer to our clients and to support them consistently and to the highest standards, in a spirit of long-term partnership,” Fauchier-Magnan said.
