swissmedlaw™ offers all classic legal services with the exception of representing clients before the ordinary civil and criminal courts. swissmedlaw™ advises and coaches you and also takes over the project management in more complex cases in the field of medical and health law, personal and family law as well as in insurance, administrative and social law issues. Our work is focused on consulting & coaching for self-representation in civil, administrative and criminal cases and representation of our clients against counterparties and authorities. Our approach is: co-creation of added value through problem solving by means of know-how transfer as well as strategic and practical support in negotiations. All this in a timely manner and using the latest information and communication technology. Once the mandate has been awarded, client traffic is conveniently handled via the secure client workspace set up especially for you as a client. If you have any questions, the swissmedlaw™ administrative team will be happy to assist you.

For clarification and classification of simple legal questions in medical and health law, it is best to arrange an initial consultation. With an initial consultation in medical and health law at swissmedlaw™, simple legal questions can be clarified or answered i.e. a legal classification of the problem at hand can be made without having to enter into a costly client relationship.

Alternatively, describe your request in writing using our registration form for a quote. You will be contacted by us within 48 hours. If important information is missing, we will take more details about your case at that time and you will receive a quote in a timely manner. Once the mandate has been awarded, we will start working on the case. You have full transparency of the costs incurred and invoices received at all times and pay conveniently online – even by credit card.

For an initial consultation with swissmedlaw™, a fixed price of currently CHF 120.00 (incl. VAT) applies for a consultation of 50 minutes either ‘in person’ at our office at Reinhardstrasse 19, 8008 Zurich or via video conference (zoom).
For mandate work, the fees of swissmedlaw™ are calculated according to the time spent and the respective hourly rates of the associates working on the mandate. In exceptional cases, fixed-fee arrangements in writing, which are not based on the time spent and hourly rates may be concluded. The hourly rates are determined by the academic qualifications and experience of the staff involved, as well as other circumstances, such as the urgency and complexity of the matter, and currently range between CHF 180.00 and 350.00.

swissmedlaw™ is an alternative legal service provider, i.e. a platform for the use of specialists in the field of medical and healthcare law. Thanks to largely digitized processes, we can submit individually tailored solutions in close cooperation with our clients. swissmedlaw™ follows a solution-oriented and transparent approach and you as a client benefit from 30-40% cost savings compared to traditional law firms.

A protected market and the professional monopoly have the effect that traditional law firms often find it difficult to submit a quote. This is also understandable, as it is often difficult, if not impossible, to clearly plan future expenses – especially in cases of conflict. However, since budgeting also plays a major role in the use of legal services, swissmedlaw™ is committed to the greatest possible transparency. As a rule, our quotes include the following elements:

• Service content
  • Brief description of the client’s request
  • Activity description
    • Individual services (enumeration)
    • Definition of the project stages (so-called milestones)
• Dates
  • Deadlines for achieving certain individual contract goals
• Fulfillment modalities
  • Type of work-product delivery

Include your budget in your quote application if you think it is appropriate for your legal matter. In addition, it helps if you describe your legal concern in detail. The more precisely we record your case, the better we can estimate our efforts and define a cost framework for our activities.

Your information and data will be treated as strictly confidential by swissmedlaw™. All information about your case will be made available only to persons within the swissmedlaw™ network, all of whom are bound by professional confidentiality agreements; i.e., no information will be made available to, shared with, or published by third parties.

Data protection and data security are both priority legal interests to which swissmedlaw™ devotes the greatest attention. For details, please consult our Privacy & Data Security Policy (link).
