Disclaimer regarding our international alliance

GGI, a stock corporation under Swiss law with its administrative headquarter in Baar, provides no legal, audit or other professional services to clients. Such services are provided solely by GGI member firms in their respective geographic areas. GGI and its member firms are legally distinct and separate entities that are absolutely independent and autonomous. They are not and nothing shall be construed to place these entities in the relationship of parents, subsidiaries, partners, joint ventures or agents. No member firm of GGI has any authority (actual, apparent, implied or otherwise) to obligate or bind GGI or any other GGI member firm in any manner whatsoever. We do thus assume that the legal definition in accordance with sec. 319 b), para. 1, p. 3. HGB (German Commercial Law) does not apply and GGI is therefore an alliance and no network in the sense of the network definition in the EU directive.

We do legally and economically not depend in any kind from the other members of the GGI alliance. Benefitax GmbH assumes all liability for the mandates assigned to us; in no case any other company, study or consultant will be liable although it might bear the name “GGI”, “Geneva Group”  “GGI Global Alliance” or “Geneva Group International”. In the same manner, Benefitax GmbH does not assume any liability for mandates assigned to other companies, studies or consultants although they might bear the name “GGI”, “Geneva Group”, “Geneva Group International” or “GGI Global Alliance AG”.
