Legal representation

the process of performing legally binding acts or appraisals by one person, the legal representative, on behalf of another, the principal.

We exercise your legal rights on your behalf and represent you in administrative proceedings, all the way to the Federal Supreme Court, if necessary, in negotiations with private individuals or the authorities, and in specific civil law proceedings before all judicial instances.

Turn our legal and technical expertise to account for your advantage!

Clear and understandable!

Criminal proceedings

judicial proceedings conducted to establish whether a criminal offence was committed, and if so, to hand down punishment.

Criminal proceedings are extremely taxing for the parties involved. Persons in charge of advertising, technical staff, and security officers shoulder huge responsibility. In our experience, it is helpful when those in a position of responsibility know beforehand who to contact in serious cases – an in-depth preliminary advisory is always beneficial for identifying risks and avoiding prosecutable conduct.

Notwithstanding, if misconduct is suspected, we will defend your rights and ensure that the proceedings are properly conducted.

Know duties - avoid procedures!

Mediation in disputes

Mediation: a technique designed to manage conflicts through impartial advice and mediation between the disputing parties.

Sometimes long-standing partnerships break down, without any particular reason, and the conflict becomes apparently insoluble. In such cases, a neutral third party can mediate and help find a solution. The mediation process is significantly less expensive than long and complex legal proceedings.

We have experience in devising business-oriented solutions; the formal legal result is not always the best solution.

Fair solutions - satisfactory solutions!

Expert opinion

a written statement prepared by a professional that can be relied upon in legal proceedings, for a specific project, or in a comparable context.

We undertake an in-depth examination and appraisal of specific legal issues and prepare legal opinions, reports and position statements. These are instrumental in eliminating uncertainties and ensuring you avoid legal hurdles and pitfalls that in your future business dealings. Well-founded knowledge is the basis of any good business transaction.

Good basis for a good business

Training

a learning process or course serving educational purposes

Pay attention to Compliance! This includes regular employee training and advanced training courses, for example in advertising for therapeutic products, or on competition. We support the in-house dissemination of knowledge by organising customised and practice-oriented employee training courses tailored to our clients’ wishes.

Expertise

professional skill, special knowledge

Where possible, we can promote your interests in the legislative process. If the legislator is unaware of the needs and concerns of market participants, it cannot take them into account. In the context of the consultation process, we can support you with wording proposals, argumentation, and explanatory notes. In the scope of the legislative procedure, we can assist you with regard to the substantive aspects and procedural questions.

Involvement in the legislative process creates visibility!

Network

a system of interconnected individuals.

Because we cannot answer every question alone, we work collaboratively with a network of pluridisciplinary specialists. In this framework, we act as a coordinator, collecting the responses from the various fields of expertise and merging them into an intelligible legal context.

Competence expansion through expert network!
