Who We Are

Boltenko Law is a boutique private client legal practice and tax advisory service. Based in Zurich, Switzerland, we provide for the needs of wealthy individuals and their companies.

We guide our clients through an ever-changing landscape of legal, tax and wealth planning issues. By taking the complexity out of these matters, we leave clients free to enjoy their wealth.

We work to preserve and develop wealth through long-term planning. Our service is both personal and flexible; we adjust it to support individual circumstances. We know the best results come from good relationships with clients who trust us and share our values. You will find us straight talking, transparent and friendly, with a ‘can-do’ attitude.

Boltenko Law was founded in January 2017 by Olga Boltenko. Olga is an English and Russian qualified tax and wealth planning expert with over 20 years of experience in London, Moscow and Zurich with major Anglo-Saxon law firms.

We are truly international:

• we are qualified to advise on Russian and UK matters, and have extensive experience in dealing with many countries of the world;
• we work in both Russian and English; and
• we understand the complexity of interaction of civil and common law jurisdictions.

We understand our clients:

• we are as global as our clients: our team is originally Russian but have lived in many countries, married to foreign nationals, we hold many passports and invested abroad;
• we are like our clients – 95% of our clients are first generation wealthy and we are of similar age and we share the same background of being born in USSR.

We are based in one location but have a global outlook:

• we are based in Zurich, but travel regularly to Moscow, London, Geneva, Cyprus and Barcelona, as well as other locations;
• most of our projects are about interaction between 2, 3, or even more legal systems.

We are a niche firm but see the bigger picture:

• we only focus on international tax and wealth planning issues, BUT
• we advise on both corporate and individual tax matters;
• we act as both lawyers and trustees.

We are truly dedicated to our clients:

• we have a small team but big clients – this ensures very personal dedicated service;
• we have over 20 years of experience but are in our early 40^th and have a long way to go professionally, so we build up long-term relationships with the client.
