An accident or illness can fundamentally change one’s life and living situation. Medical treatments and interventions are associated with health risks, but also have legal and financial risks. If a health-related injury occurs, numerous legal questions arise afterwards in connection with the treatment of patients as well as the duty of care of health care personnel. The interests and rights of all persons involved must be safeguarded and balanced solutions  found. If, in addition, there is damage in the legal sense, the question also arises as to who is responsible for the damage and ultimately has to bear the costs.

We support and advise you, create clarity and work out balanced solutions with the parties involved, which safeguard their interests and rights.

There are some situations in which the law requires the use of a notary: For example in certain declarations of intent, some contracts and any settlements, the legal transaction must be drawn up in a public document in order to be legally valid under Swiss law. Nevertheless, the parties have a great deal of flexibility and would do well to first seek legal advice. Therefore, we also advise and assist our clients in the planning, preparation and implementation of notarized transactions. In conjunction with a notary’s office we offer the following services:

•  Public notarization for real estate contracts/ preliminary contracts
• Marriage contracts
• Inheritance contracts and advice on the drawing up of wills
• Easements (e.g. right of residence, right of way.)
• Drawing up deeds concerning the formation of companies and transactions under company law
• Certification of copies and signatures, copies of documents, transcripts, extracts, and so on.
• Establishment of sureties
• Advice on and preparation of precautionary mandates

• We can advise and accompany you in the preparation of all notarial certifications and in the preparation of the legal documents up to the public certification.
• Where a visit to the notary’s office does not have to be made in person, we can do this for you. Otherwise we could accompany you if so desired.

• Preparation, negotiation and arbitration of marriage contracts, cohabitation contracts, separation agreements, divorces , living wills and health care orders
