More about us
Legal Expat provides immigration services and legal advice to the expatriate community living and working in Switzerland.
We work in partnership with OA Legal, a Geneva well established law firm. Our English-speaking team can assist you with the various issues you may face as an expat in Switzerland: apply for work permits and visas, Swiss citizenship, divorce proceedings and employment law disputes.
We also provide our immigration and employment law services to companies based in Switzerland.
This website has been created and is managed exclusively by Swiss lawyers and immigration specialists. For more specific advice, do not hesitate to contact us by email.
If you have a permit issue in Switzerland, it is important to note that some permits may only allow you to work and not necessarily reside in the country. When applying for a permit, make sure to clarify the specific restrictions and permissions associated with it.
Additionally, European workers can start working immediately after submitting necessary documents, while non-European workers must wait for the permit to be accepted by the SEM.
Family reunification is possible for Swiss citizens or permit holders. DeliverPermit can assist with permit renewal or changes, and personal data is protected on the application. Please note that there are no refunds for rejected permit applications.
Foreigner have the right to start a business in Switzerland, provided that they have a valid work permit. Setting up a business is usually quite simple under Swiss law. However, there are situations where the nature of business requires a license, such as in the banking or food industry.
Employers should be mindful of contract terminations, non-compete clauses, and other critical details when drafting contracts. Properly defining contract termination procedures can prevent future conflicts and protect the interests of all parties involved. Including well-crafted non-compete clauses can also safeguard your business from potential competition from former employees or contractors. Seeking legal advice is essential to ensure that these provisions are enforceable and offer sufficient protection.
Outsourcing can be a valuable strategy for businesses to improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
However, it is crucial for employers to consider the legal implications involved in outsourcing arrangements. Ensuring compliance with regulations and safeguarding intellectual property rights are essential aspects that need careful attention.
Seeking legal guidance can provide reassurance that your outsourcing agreements are legally sound and beneficial for your business.
