Philippe Kenel

Doctor of Law, LL.M. (Université Libre de Bruxelles), Degree in political science, Attorney-at-law

Philippe Kenel, who holds a doctorate in law, a degree in political science and an LL.M. in European law from Université Libre de Bruxelles, has been advising high net worth individuals, both Swiss and foreign, for over thirty years, particularly in national and international tax and inheritance matters. He frequently advises foreign nationals wishing to relocate to Switzerland in order to benefit from lump-sum taxation. 

Active in Switzerland and Belgium, Philippe Kenel is in charge of the valfor offices in Brussels, thus making his activities inherently international. 

Clients appreciate not only his practical and theoretical knowledge of these practice areas, as demonstrated by his many publications, but also the relevance of his advice and his human approach. Philippe Kenel is very often called upon to intervene in complex family transactions or to act as an executor of wills. 

Philippe Kenel's other activities can be found on his website https://www.philippekenel.ch. In particular, he is President of the Swiss Chamber of Commerce for Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, President of the International league against racism and anti-semitism in Switzerland (Licra-Switzerland), co-founder and legal representative of the Licra's Permanent Representation to the European Institutions, and co-founder and member of the Board of Licra-Belgium.
