Frequently asked questions
BizLabJura advises a range of commercial entities active in Switzerland, including limited liability companies and joint-supply companies, as well as sole proprietorships and partnerships. Advice is adapted to the legal form, size and sector of each client.
Fee options are discussed at the start of an engagement. BizLabJura may propose hourly billing, fixed fees for defined deliverables, or phased billing aligned with project milestones. The fee proposal specifies scope, deliverables and estimated timelines to allow informed budgeting.
Yes. BizLabJura identifies Swiss law implications and coordinates with correspondent counsel abroad where specialist local input is required. We clarify jurisdictional issues, compliance interfaces and enforceability considerations relevant to cross-border arrangements.
An initial consultation typically lasts 30 to 60 minutes. During that time BizLabJura gathers factual information, outlines possible legal pathways, and suggests practical next steps. A follow-up proposal will indicate a recommended scope and timing for further work.
BizLabJura provides preparation and strategic support for dispute resolution and can coordinate litigation or arbitration representation. For courtroom representation where specialised procedural expertise is required, we work with experienced litigation counsel or refer clients to appropriate local specialists.

Client information is treated as confidential. BizLabJura applies secure handling of communications and file storage, and confidentiality arrangements are addressed in the engagement terms. Sensitive disclosures can be handled under a non-disclosure agreement where appropriate.
Advice and documents can be provided in English. For matters that require filings with Swiss authorities or involve local counterparties, German or French translations can be coordinated as needed with qualified translators or local counsel.
