Lawyer in the canton of Basel-Landschaft

On ora., every lawyer is checked against a cantonal bar register, and every legal adviser proves a Swiss law degree. You filter by area of law, language and place, from Liestal and Sissach to Allschwil and Laufen, and compare profiles and fees. You book online, at the law firm or by video.

It depends on the district. The Zivilkreisgericht Basel-Landschaft West covers the districts of Arlesheim and Laufen – for example Allschwil, Binningen, Reinach, Muttenz or Laufen.

Criminal cases for the whole canton go to the Strafgericht Basel-Landschaft.

Every lawyer and legal adviser sets their own fee; it depends on the area of law, the work involved and their experience. You can see the fees of practitioners advising in the canton of Basel-Landschaft live on this page and in each profile before you book. ora.’s service fee is shown on a separate line and is never added into the practitioner’s fee.

Against a decision of a cantonal or municipal authority – a building permit or a decision of the municipality, for example – an appeal to the cantonal government or another internal authority is often available first. After that, an appeal usually goes to the Kantonsgericht Basel-Landschaft, Abteilung Verfassungs- und Verwaltungsrecht (constitutional and administrative law division of the cantonal court). The deadline and the remedy are stated at the end of the decision. An administrative lawyer checks which route applies in your case and whether the deadline is still running.

The Basellandschaftlicher Anwaltsverband is the professional association of lawyers in Basel-Landschaft. Membership is not the same as being entered in the cantonal bar register, which entitles a lawyer to represent clients in court. ora. checks that register entry before a lawyer’s profile is published.
