Why Sentinel Legal

What sets us apart
in criminal matters

Mr. Traussnig spent three years at the Geneva Public Prosecutor's Office before being admitted to the Bar. He has first-hand knowledge of how Geneva's criminal procedure operates from within — the practices, the magistrates' expectations, the levers that make the difference. Combined with his expertise in new technology and blockchain law, this is a rare profile in Geneva—particularly valuable for cases involving both criminal dimensions and digital or financial environments.

Inside knowledge of the system

3 years at the Public Prosecutor's Office of the Canton of Geneva. Direct understanding of practices, priorities, and room for maneuver in Geneva's criminal procedure.

Dual expertise: criminal + digital

CAS Digital Finance Law (UNIGE) and blockchain certification. Cases involving digital assets, crypto scams, or cybercrime require both—together.

Immediate crisis management

Intervention in hours, not days. File transmitted, strategy built, decisions made before the situation crystallizes unfavorably.

International dimension

Network of partners covering cross-border criminal proceedings. Coordination with foreign authorities and attorneys in cases with an international dimension.
