Our law firm, founded in 1984, is well established locally. We are very familiar with the conditions in the Regio Basiliensis. As a modern company, we also offer legal services with a supra-regional focus. We see ourselves as generalists with specialist knowledge in individual areas of law. We work on cross-regional cases and complex issues as a team. Our team's specialist knowledge and many years of legal practice are complemented by experience from our part-time work in the courts, on specialist commissions and in substantive politics.

Our aim is to offer competent and efficient legal services in trusting cooperation with our clients.

Our law firm provides comprehensive and forward-looking advice to private individuals in all legal matters. Our notary's office notarizes wills, marriage and inheritance contracts as well as other legal transactions requiring notarization. Since January 1, 2013, our notary's office has also been providing all land register notarial services (in particular notarization of property purchase agreements, notarization of easement agreements, establishment of condominium ownership and building rights, mutations, creation and amendment of promissory notes)

Advisory and support services for small and medium-sized enterprises and municipalities are also part of our firm's traditional activities. Our notary's office handles notarial transactions in connection with corporate law matters and offers individual solutions to problems.

We represent individuals, companies and municipalities in civil and criminal proceedings as well as in administrative proceedings both before the cantonal courts and authorities and before the federal instances.
