    The local picture

    Baar

    Baar borders the town of Zug to the north and is closely tied to it as a place to live and as a business location. For the courts, the municipal boundary makes no difference: the canton of Zug is a single court district, and Baar falls under the same bodies as the town – the Kantonsgericht Zug (cantonal court) for civil cases, the Strafgericht des Kantons Zug for criminal cases and the Schlichtungsbehörde Miet- und Pachtrecht for tenancy disputes.

    Many employees in Baar work for internationally active companies. In the event of a dismissal or a dispute over a bonus or a non-compete clause, the first step is the Schlichtungsbehörde Arbeitsrecht, before the cantonal court decides. On ora., every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register and every legal adviser against their Swiss law degree. You book at the office or by video; ora.’s service fee is kept separate from the practitioner’s fee.

    Justice in Baar

      Tenancy

      Tenancy: the cantonal conciliation board

      A dispute over rent, service charges, defects or a notice to quit starts at the Schlichtungsbehörde Miet- und Pachtrecht, the tenancy conciliation board. It covers every municipality in the canton and tries to bring tenant and landlord to an agreement at a hearing. If that fails, it issues an authorisation to proceed and the case goes to the Kantonsgericht Zug. A lawyer helps with the application and the deadlines, which are short.

    2. Work

      Employment: conciliation, then the cantonal court

      The canton of Zug has no employment court of its own. Disputes arising from employment – dismissal, wages, bonuses, references – go first to the Schlichtungsbehörde Arbeitsrecht, the employment conciliation board. If no settlement is reached, the Kantonsgericht Zug decides. Because many international companies are based in the canton, non-compete clauses and variable pay often come up; a lawyer reviews the contract and the deadlines.

    3. Family

      Family: one cantonal court for every municipality

      The whole canton is a single court district. Separation, divorce, custody and maintenance go first to the Kantonsgericht Zug (cantonal court), whether you live in Zug, Baar, Cham or a mountain municipality. A family lawyer reviews your options and the prospects of an agreement with you before any proceedings begin.

    4. Criminal

      Criminal law: prosecutor and criminal court

      Criminal investigations are led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Zug (public prosecutor), which often closes simple cases with a penalty order. If charges are brought, the Strafgericht des Kantons Zug (criminal court) tries the case. The deadline for objecting to a penalty order is short. Whether you are accused or want to report an offence, speak to a lawyer before your first interview.

    5. Legal aid

      Legal aid: apply to the court

      If you cannot pay for proceedings and your case is not without prospects, you can apply for legal aid. In the canton of Zug, the application goes to the Kantonsgericht or the Obergericht, depending on where the case is pending. It can cover court costs and the appointment of a lawyer. A practitioner can tell you whether you meet the conditions.

    Frequently asked questions

    Your questions in Baar

    Local answers, checked against official sources. A practitioner can look at your situation in detail.

    See all questions
    Do I have to go to Zug for proceedings from Baar?

    Yes, the canton’s courts and conciliation boards sit in the town of Zug, and they cover Baar just as they cover every other municipality. You attend hearings there. Much of the preparation can be done by video, though: you go through documents and deadlines with your lawyer without having to visit the firm.

    Dismissal, bonus, non-compete clause – who can help in Baar?

    An employment lawyer checks whether the dismissal was abusive, whether a bonus is owed and whether a non-compete clause actually binds you. If it comes to a dispute, the first step is the Schlichtungsbehörde Arbeitsrecht (conciliation board); without a settlement, the Kantonsgericht Zug decides. You can book the first meeting on ora., at a law firm or by video.

    My tenancy in Baar has been terminated – what can I do?

    You can challenge the notice before the Schlichtungsbehörde Miet- und Pachtrecht (tenancy conciliation board) or ask for an extension. The deadline is short and runs from the day you receive the notice. A tenancy lawyer checks whether the notice is valid, whether it could be abusive and how much time you have left, then files the application.

    How do I pay for a consultation in Baar through ora.?

    You pay when you book on ora.; the lawyer’s fee and the service fee appear as two separate lines. You pay the practitioner directly. If you cannot afford proceedings, look into legal aid first: in the canton of Zug, the application goes to the Kantonsgericht or the Obergericht, depending on where the case is pending.
