What we do for you in Zurich.

What to expect from us.

In the city centre, right by the main station

Gessnerallee 28 lies in District 1, a few minutes' walk from the main station. From the agglomeration and from Eastern Switzerland you arrive without changing trains.

Commercial and private law from one source

Corporate law and transactions for companies, inheritance and family law for private clients, criminal law including business crime. The same contact person throughout the case.

Notarial services via the head office

In the canton of Zurich, notarisation is carried out by the state notary offices. We prepare your transaction in Zurich and, where it fits with us, notarise it at our head office in Wil SG.

Your law firm in District 1

At Gessnerallee 28, between the main station and the river Sihl, we advise private clients and businesses from the city and canton of Zurich. The office is a few minutes' walk from the main station, reachable by tram and bus from across the agglomeration, and for clients from Eastern Switzerland it sits directly on the rail line to Wil.

We are a firm with Eastern Swiss roots and three offices. For you that means a Zurich presence without having to travel into the city for every meeting, and one contact person who knows your case from beginning to end.

Corporate law and transactions

Formation, articles of association, shareholders' agreements, capital increases, restructuring, buying and selling companies: we accompany SMEs and their owners across the whole life cycle. In transactions we lead the contract negotiations and coordinate the structure with your fiduciary and tax advisers. Board mandates, governance questions and liability issues are part of this too.

Inheritance law and estate planning

Wills, inheritance contracts, marital agreements, advance care directives, division of estates and executorship. Estate planning is led by a certified specialist SBA in inheritance law. Particularly where there is property in Zurich, a shareholding in a company or a family with international ties, sound planning pays off before the succession arises.

Family law and divorce

Separation, divorce, maintenance, custody and care arrangements, marital property and pension splitting. Where possible we seek an amicable solution and conduct proceedings before the competent district court if no agreement is reached.

Criminal and white-collar criminal law

From the first police interview through the summary penalty order to the main hearing. We defend the accused and represent injured parties, including in white-collar proceedings involving companies. Get in touch early: what is said in the first interview can hardly be corrected later.

Notarial services: preparation in Zurich, notarisation in Wil

In the canton of Zurich, notarisation is carried out by state notary offices. We advise you in Zurich on the content of the transaction, draft the deed and, where possible and sensible, notarise it at our head office in Wil SG. Where the Zurich state notary is competent, we prepare the transaction and accompany you to the appointment.

How an initial consultation works

You describe your matter using the form, by e-mail or by phone. We reply within one working day and propose an appointment at Gessnerallee. In the meeting we clarify your situation, the possible routes and the cost range. Only then do you decide whether and how to proceed.

Frequently asked questions.

Can you notarise in Zurich?
No. In the canton of Zurich, notarisation is carried out by state notary offices, not by independent notaries. We prepare your transaction in Zurich, settle the content of the deed with you and, where possible and sensible, notarise it at our head office in Wil SG. Otherwise we accompany you to the competent Zurich notary office.
Where exactly is your Zurich office?
At Gessnerallee 28 in District 1, between the main station and the river Sihl. It is a few minutes' walk from the station. Meetings take place by appointment so that we can set aside enough time for your matter.
Do you also appear before Zurich courts?
Yes. A Swiss bar admission is valid throughout Switzerland; we appear before the district courts, the High Court and the administrative authorities of the canton of Zurich, as well as before the Federal Supreme Court and the Federal Administrative Court.
Which practice areas do you cover in Zurich?
The focus is on corporate law and transactions, inheritance law and estate planning, family law and divorce, and criminal and white-collar criminal law. We also handle employment and tenancy law. Who takes on your matter is settled in the initial consultation.
Do you also work for companies not based in Zurich?
Yes. Many mandates concern companies based in Eastern Switzerland that negotiate in Zurich, or Zurich companies with business in Eastern Switzerland. Our offices in Wil, Teufen and Zurich cover that axis.

Who we serve from here.

From Zurich we handle mandates from the city and the entire canton of Zurich as well as the surrounding agglomeration. For clients from Eastern Switzerland the office sits directly on the rail line to Wil.
