What does a criminal defence lawyer in Switzerland do?
A criminal defence lawyer defends individuals and companies in criminal investigations and prosecutions, including fraud, bribery, money laundering and sanctions matters. You are likely to need one when you or your company are contacted by the police or a prosecutor, face an investigation, or need an internal investigation into suspected wrongdoing.
How do I find a good criminal defence lawyer in Switzerland?
Check that they are qualified or registered to practise in Switzerland, for example with the local bar association or professional body, and that they have handled matters like yours, including any cross-border element. Ask who will do the work, which languages they work in and how they charge before you instruct them. Each criminal defence lawyer listed on this page has a profile with their firm, practice areas and contact details, so you can compare them before getting in touch.
How much does a criminal defence lawyer in Switzerland cost?
Fees depend on the firm, the experience of the person advising you and how complex the matter is. Firms commonly charge by the hour, a fixed fee for a defined piece of work, or a combination of the two. Ask for a written estimate and the terms of engagement before any work starts.
Do I need a local criminal defence lawyer in Switzerland if I am based abroad?
Matters governed by the law of Switzerland, or that involve its courts, registries or authorities, usually need an adviser qualified there. If you already have an adviser at home, they can often work alongside a local criminal defence lawyer in Switzerland, which keeps the advice joined up on cross-border matters.
Can I find an English-speaking criminal defence lawyer in Switzerland?
Many lawyers and advisers who work with international clients advise in English, but it is worth checking. Ask about working languages when you first get in touch, and whether documents can be provided in English as well as the local language.
