The local picture
Belp
Belp lies south of Bern at the entrance to the Gürbetal; Bern Airport is on its territory. The municipality belongs to the Bern-Mittelland administrative district. The Regionalgericht Bern-Mittelland is therefore competent at first instance – for civil and criminal matters and, as the canton has no separate employment tribunal, for employment disputes too. A tenancy dispute starts before the Schlichtungsbehörde Bern-Mittelland.
For Belp that means short distances: the authorities are the same as for the city of Bern, and many appointments can take place by video anyway. On ora. you compare verified lawyers and legal advisers from the region by area of law, language and fee. The practitioner sets the fee; ora.’s service fee is shown separately, and you pay the practitioner directly.

Tenancy
Tenancy: four regional conciliation boards
A dispute over rent, defects or a notice to quit starts, in principle, before the conciliation board of your region: Bern-Mittelland, Emmental-Oberaargau, Oberland or Berner Jura-Seeland. The board where the flat is located is competent. It hears both sides and proposes an agreement. If conciliation fails, it authorises you to take the case to the regional court. A lawyer can help with the request and the deadlines.

Work
Employment: no separate tribunal
Unlike some cantons, Bern has no separate employment tribunal. Disputes arising from employment – dismissal, unpaid wages, overtime, work references – go to the four regional courts, usually after an attempt at conciliation. What counts is the court region: Thun and Interlaken, for example, fall under the Regionalgericht Oberland, Langenthal and Burgdorf under the Regionalgericht Emmental-Oberaargau. A practitioner checks your documents and deadlines first.

Family
Family: the regional court of your region
Separation, divorce, custody and child maintenance are decided at first instance by the regional court – Bern-Mittelland, Emmental-Oberaargau, Oberland or Berner Jura-Seeland. In the Bernese Jura administrative district, proceedings are held in French; in the Biel/Bienne district, in German or French. A first consultation clarifies your options, the documents you need and the chances of an agreement before any proceedings begin.

Criminal
Criminal law: prosecutor first, then the regional court
Criminal complaint, summons to an interview or summary penalty order: the investigation is led by the Staatsanwaltschaft des Kantons Bern, the cantonal public prosecutor. If charges are brought, the regional court concerned tries the case at first instance. You can object to a summary penalty order, but the deadline is short. You may bring a lawyer to every interview – so get in touch early.
