The contents of this website constitute a non-binding information service and are of a general nature. They are not to be understood as binding legal advice or business consulting and cannot replace the consultation of a specialised professional in a specific individual case. Neither the up-to-dateness nor the accuracy or completeness of the information can be guaranteed at any time; use of the website is exclusively at your own risk.

To the extent permitted by law, any liability is excluded for damage or consequential damage of a material or immaterial nature arising from access to, use or non-use of the website, from misuse or from technical malfunctions.

Note on the Attorneys' Register

Holding an attorney's licence does not require registration in the cantonal attorneys' register. Registration under the Federal Act on the Free Movement of Lawyers (BGFA) only becomes necessary where parties are professionally represented before judicial authorities. LAWCONSULT AG does not provide legal representation in court proceedings; its services comprise advice on regulatory, strategic and corporate matters. Accordingly, no attorney-client relationship within the meaning of the BGFA is established, and the professional rules attached thereto do not apply.
