New rules to combat money laundering and the financing of terrorism are expected to take effect in Switzerland from mid-2026. One of the key changes concerns the inclusion of consultants under the Anti-Money Laundering Act (AMLA), provided they assist in the formation, structuring, domiciliation, or administration of non-operational legal entities (so-called “domiciliary or shell companies”), or are involved in substantial real estate transactions (> CHF 5 million).
