### What does an initial consultation cost?

An initial consultation costs a flat CHF 250 (incl. VAT) and lasts approximately 45 minutes. We assess your situation, evaluate the legal position, and discuss next steps. No obligation.

### How are your fees calculated?

We work transparently: either on an hourly basis with pre-communicated rates, or — where possible — with fixed-fee arrangements. You receive regular cost overviews and are informed early of any budget changes.

### Can I get a short-notice appointment?

In urgent cases, we aim for appointments within 24 to 48 hours. For time-critical matters such as terminations, contract deadlines, or injunctions, we are particularly responsive.

### What languages do you advise in?

Our working languages are German and English. All correspondence and documentation can be conducted in both languages.

### Do you represent clients in court?

Yes. We represent clients before all Zurich courts, the Commercial Court, and the Federal Supreme Court. Our focus is on thorough preparation and strategic litigation.

### Is everything I tell you confidential?

Absolutely. As licensed attorneys, we are bound by statutory attorney-client privilege (Art. 13 BGFA). Everything you share with us is strictly confidential — regardless of whether a mandate is established.
