Your law firm in the centre of Switzerland

Corporate and commercial law

In the area of corporate and commercial law, we are happy to support you in the formation of companies, especially start-ups. We take over the drafting and amendments of articles of association and organisational regulations for you.

In addition, we can assist you in the process of selling companies and conduct these. In the case of cross-border mergers and acquisitions of companies, we act in an advisory capacity and support you in the legal due diligence.

Other areas in which we can work for you are:

• support for capital changes (capital increase and capital reduction)
• advice on private equity and venture capital transactions and joint ventures
• advice on the conduct of board meetings, general meetings, updates of commercial register entries, issuance and cancellation of share certificates, etc.

Process management

An important part of our practice is litigation, particularly in cross-border proceedings. This applies to claims, commercial and labour law proceedings as well as other proceedings before Swiss courts and authorities, but also to disputes between financial service providers and their clients.

Furthermore, we undertake litigation in disputes in corporate law and related areas (e.g., M&A litigation, corporate liability, special audit, joint ventures and shareholders’ agreements, etc.).

Other areas of Schwärzler Attorneys at Law’s practice include providing planning and strategic advice on national and international dispute resolution proceedings, as well as assisting with litigation in other countries and the coordination of disputes in multiple jurisdictions.

We also support you in avoiding litigation, in out-of-court dispute resolution and in the drafting of contracts to avoid disputes.

Criminal law (white collar crime, asset recovery, international mutual legal assistance)

We represent and support aggrieved parties, draft criminal complaints and enforce claims or ensure the recovery of seized assets (asset recovery). We are also active in the field of international legal assistance in criminal matters (account freezes, threatened confiscation of assets, requests for information or file redactions).
