Protecting Your Interests – Whether as Creditor or Debtor
Financial disputes are part of doing business – whether you’re an individual or a company. When invoices remain unpaid, debt enforcement proceedings stall, or bankruptcy becomes a possibility, fast and strategic action is essential. Our boutique law firm in Lucerne supports you with in-depth expertise in Swiss debt enforcement and bankruptcy law (SchKG) – both preventively and in ongoing proceedings.
Legal Advice and Representation in Debt Collection
We assist with all aspects of debt collection, including debt enforcement proceedings, applications for debt enforcement orders (Rechtsöffnung), and bankruptcy procedures. Our approach is commercially focused – from liquidity assessments and out-of-court collection measures to assertive litigation strategies. In urgent cases, we assess the possibility of freezing assets through seizure (Arrest) and represent you in related proceedings.
Claims Enforcement and Defence Against Unjustified Claims
As a creditor, we support you in enforcing claims through legally sound enforcement actions, debt collection lawsuits, or admission and ranking actions (Kollokationsklage) during bankruptcy. As a debtor, we help defend against unjustified demands – whether by filing an objection, a negative declaratory action, or seeking deletion of unjustified entries in the Swiss debt enforcement register (Betreibungsregister).
We also advise on requests for access to the debt enforcement register, and represent you in complaints under the Swiss Debt Enforcement and Bankruptcy Act against unlawful conduct by debt enforcement offices or bankruptcy administrators.
Our experienced attorneys provide a realistic assessment of your chances of success, enforce your rights efficiently – and always with a clear view of the commercial context. We’re here to assist with legal advice, representation, and pragmatic solutions.
