Expertise

Experienced, competent, focused

Kanzlei Käser offers tailored and goal-oriented legal advice and representation to private individuals and companies in the following areas:

Litigation


As an experienced litigator, I represent my clients in contractual and corporate disputes before ordinary courts, commercial courts and before appellate courts (including the Swiss Federal Supreme Court).

My objective is to provide comprehensive and efficient advice and assistance to my clients throughout all phases of litigation in order to achieve optimal results, whether through settlement or court decision.

My work starts with the preparation for a proceeding and the support with pre-litigation steps. It includes the development of a litigation strategy which is built around the individual needs and interests of my clients. I represent my clients in all steps of the proceedings, up to the enforcement of a court decision.

I am also happy to assist you in developing litigation avoidance strategies, side-stepping potential conflicts or resolving them at an early stage. This includes the drafting and review of contracts as well as advice and personal assistance during contract negotiations.

Arbitration


I represent clients in national and international arbitration proceedings in commercial disputes. I have experience in arbitration proceedings under the ICC, the Swiss Rules and other arbitration rules. 

Debt Enforcement


I advise and represent my clients in the collection of outstanding debts. I support my clients in all phases of debt collection (including seizure or bankruptcy proceedings). When quick action is required, I secure my clients' claims by blocking the debtor's assets.

Furthermore, I represent my clients in the recognition and enforcement of domestic and foreign court decisions in Switzerland. 

White-Collar Crime


I represent both accused persons and injured parties in criminal matters, both in the area of white-collar crime and in administrative criminal proceedings.

My expertise also includes the assertion of civil claims in the framework of criminal proceedings. 

International Legal Assistance


I support private individuals and companies in international legal assistance procedures in Switzerland
(e.g., concerning blocking of assets or request for information and documents).

Contract and Corporate Law


I advise clients on the drafting and review of contracts (e.g., purchase agreements, loan agreements, distribution agreements or shareholders’ agreements). 

Furthermore, I counsel private individuals and companies on corporate law matters.
