Sentinel Legal does not position itself as a generalist firm. We work exclusively in targeted areas of expertise that we master: criminal law, new technologies, business law and civil litigation, with a deep understanding of the cross-border (CH-EU), operational and economic dimensions of every mandate.
Our size is an advantage: every case is handled by a partner, never entirely delegated. You benefit from a single, experienced point of contact who understands your situation in its entirety and is fully invested in achieving a result.
Matthias Traussnig and Aurélien Rocher combine experience that is directly useful to their clients: private practice, the Public Prosecutor’s Office, the Big Four, university teaching and immersion in technology ecosystems, Legal Tech, AI, Web3. A combination that gives them pragmatism, high standards and a multidisciplinary view of the most complex situations.
We only accept mandates that correspond to our expertise. No dispersion, no compromise.

Your reality first. Not a legal text applied to a standardized file.
