Lawyer specializing in labor law 

Our legal consultation is committed to promoting healthy and equitable working relationships.

​

The Swiss labor market is recognized as one of the most liberal in the world. Swiss law contains far fewer provisions than those of EU member states.

​

Mandatory legal rules (individual employment contracts, collective labor agreements, etc.), labor legislation (general provisions on health protection, working hours, etc.), and the Federal Accident Insurance Act (workplace safety) are of great importance.

​

Of the 9 million people permanently residing in Switzerland, more than half are employed full-time or part-time. Approximately 400,000 people living in neighboring regions of Germany, France, or Italy work in Switzerland. For these individuals, Swiss labor law is of significant interest as it directly impacts their income.

​

In our practice, we represent the interests of both employers and employees by addressing questions such as (but not limited to):

• What should you consider before signing an employment contract?

• My employer is not paying my salary/overtime. What should I do?

• I have been dismissed. Is this legal?

• Under what conditions can I receive unemployment benefits? etc.

In the event of a dispute between employer and employee, we strive to find acceptable solutions, but of course, the interests of our clients are always our priority. Legal mediation between the employer and employee often provides an excellent solution, often resulting in an extrajudicial and amicable settlement.
