The firm

The firm

We opened in 2011 with a simple idea: a neighbourhood practice, small enough to explain the law before applying it.

The firm occupies the second floor of a building on Rue du Grand-Chêne, five minutes’ walk from the District Court and from Lausanne station. We receive clients in two meeting rooms, never in a corridor, and the office is not shared with other practices.

We have deliberately stayed small. Five people means everyone knows everyone else’s files, that covering a hearing is not organised at the last minute, and that no instruction is handed to someone you have never met.

Part of our work consists in discouraging proceedings. A trial is expensive, takes years and rarely leaves people satisfied, even when they win. While negotiation is still possible we try it first; once it no longer is, we litigate without reservation.

Three commitments

01

An estimate before the work

You know what each step costs before it begins. No invoice should ever be a surprise.

02

Letters that can be read

We write our letters so that the recipient understands them, not to impress a fellow lawyer.

03

An answer within 24 hours

Any message received on a working day is answered by the next day at the latest, even if only to say that we need more time.
