Julius Paulicka

Hello and welcome to my profile

As a passionate rider, breeder, former elite rider and trainer, I not only bring professional expertise in legal areas relating to land and animals, but also understand from my own experience what really matters when dealing with horses and animal owners. My work on the committee and my involvement with the Zurich Equestrian Masters confirm my practical and networked perspective.

As a partner at BPS Legal for Spaces & Animals and as a proven equine lawyer, I am also well skilled in complex issues relating to animal health, liability and permits. My goal is to meet you as a person and a lawyer on equal terms – whether you are planning a construction project, using the land or want to protect yourself legally as an animal owner.

I look forward to getting to know you and your legal challenges personally!
