In wire fraud, the money often leaves the receiving account within days, so everything turns on how fast you react. The criminal complaint and the civil action were filed without delay with the competent authorities, and part of the funds was recovered.
Fraud and asset recovery → 02 · Criminal defenseA defendant may have a lawyer present from the first hearing and may refuse to answer. You still need to know what you will say, and what you will not, before you walk into the prosecutor’s office. The defense strategy was set before this hearing.
Your rights at the hearing → 03 · Criminal defenseIn these cases, two versions of events often clash, and the Public Prosecutor hears the parties, then any witnesses, before deciding. The defense brings out what the file actually establishes. After several hearings, the Public Prosecutor issued a dismissal order.
The stages of criminal proceedings →« I particularly appreciated the attentiveness, availability and seriousness of Maître Traussnig, who accompanied me. »
Two founders set up their SA in Geneva. The articles of association say little about the day the partners stop agreeing. Capital, governance, deadlock rules and exit terms were therefore set out in a shareholders’ agreement before the deed was signed at the notary’s office.
Shareholders’ agreements, 50/50 or 51/49 → 05 · ContractsPartnerships, incoming investors, construction and service contracts. Price, warranties and exit terms are settled at the negotiating table. We review the other side’s draft, weigh the risks with the client and negotiate the clauses that will matter if a dispute arises.
Corporate law & M&A → 06 · CompaniesA partner leaves a Geneva staffing agency, a business that requires a license. The exit was prepared in advance, including the buyout of the shares, so the company carried on without interruption and kept its licenses.
Corporate law & M&A → 07 · M&AThe transaction had to close within days. A short deadline is no excuse for not checking the target company, its contracts and its assets. Due diligence and the transaction documents were completed within the set deadline, and the investment went ahead without delay.
Corporate law & M&A →« His advice, his rigour and his ability to answer our questions quickly allowed us to move forward calmly at every stage of setting up our company. »
A Swiss company’s access keys were hacked and used at its expense. The cloud bill reached several hundred thousand francs. It was challenged with the provider and a criminal complaint was filed, the two proceedings pursued in parallel, each one supporting the other.
Read the analysis → 09 · LitigationA founder leaves his employer and starts his own company. The former employer accuses him of disparaging its business and poaching its clients. We defend the founder and his new company, on unfair competition as well as on the non-compete clause.
Litigation and debt recovery → 10 · LitigationA debt owed by someone based outside Switzerland is recovered where the debtor’s assets are. Formal notices in French and English were sent from Geneva, ahead of proceedings before the courts of the debtor’s country, where the judgment can be enforced.
Litigation and debt recovery →« He always took the time to explain the different stages to me very clearly and gave me a realistic assessment of the situation, without ever making unrealistic promises. »
For a foreign buyer living outside Switzerland, buying a vacation home generally requires a permit, counted against a cantonal quota. In municipalities where second homes already exceed 20%, no new ones can be approved. The options were checked before any promise to sell was signed.
Real estate law → 12 · ConstructionWith a fixed price, rising material costs are in principle borne by the contractor, barring extraordinary circumstances assessed by the court. Better to settle the question before work starts. The construction contract was negotiated to allocate this risk at signing.
Real estate law → 13 · Real estate companyIn a real estate company, a dispute between shareholders often starts with the right to information. Here, governance and loans granted to shareholders were also at stake. The directors were advised on each of these points, then supported through to the commercial register filing.
Real estate law →Every matter is different. The outcome of a past case does not predict the outcome of another.
