Lawyer in the canton of Schwyz

On ora., every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register and every legal adviser holds a Swiss law degree. You filter by area of law, language and place, from Schwyz to Freienbach by way of Einsiedeln, compare profiles and fees, and book online, at the office or by video.

The district decides. Freienbach, Wollerau and Feusisberg make up the Höfe district and belong to the Bezirksgericht Höfe. Lachen and Altendorf are in the March district (Bezirksgericht March). Küssnacht and Einsiedeln are districts in their own right, each with its own court. Schwyz, Ingenbohl-Brunnen, Arth and the Muotatal belong to the Bezirksgericht Schwyz.

Decisions by municipalities, districts and cantonal offices – a building permit, a tax assessment, a ruling by the migration office – can, once the cantonal steps are exhausted, be appealed to the Verwaltungsgericht des Kantons Schwyz (administrative court). An appeal to the cantonal government or an objection is often required first. The remedy and deadline are stated at the end of the decision; a lawyer checks the right route.

Each practitioner sets their own fee, shown on every profile before you book. ora.’s service fee is a separate line and is never added into the practitioner’s fee. You pay the practitioner directly. If you cannot afford proceedings, legal aid may be available.

The Anwaltsverband des Kantons Schwyz is the professional association of Schwyz lawyers. Membership is not the same as being entered in the cantonal bar register, which is what allows a lawyer to represent clients in court. That register entry is what ora. checks before publishing a lawyer’s profile.
