Welcome on B.O.A.R.D.

Your gateway to seamless governance services.

In an era where legal, tax, and regulatory landscapes are increasingly intricate, navigating the world of investment structuring demands more than individual expertise.

Our goal and commitment is to provide the best in class quality and as a boutique firm we’ll be providing bundle services with the same care and attention for each investment structure, regardless of its size, needs and life status.

We are very pleased to welcome you on B.O.A.R.D.

The founder

A cross-border practice built over 20 years

Nicolas has built two decades of expertise in regulated and non-regulated investment structures across Real Estate, Infrastructure, Private Equity, ESG and Digital Assets.

He spent twelve years at a prominent Big-4 practice in Luxembourg, advising alternative investment fund managers and family offices on structuring and transactional tax — serving major US fund managers, UK PE houses, sovereign and pension funds, banking institutions and multinationals.

He also accrued five years in-house with a world-leading satellite operator, contributing to joint ventures, mergers and acquisitions across emerging markets. Over the past seven years, he has progressively refocused on serving High Net Worth Individuals and single- and multi-family offices, leading teams of 25+ professionals.
